Ok there we have Gigabyte and Asus as one of the good boards we have..Can somebody recommend a cheap yet reliable brand of motherboard supporting Core 2 Duos? I see most mobos prices are high..

I went with ASUS P5B-E Socket, $159.99

I doesnt offer SLI, but I dont need that. Basic motherboard, comes with good software and good manual.

Aside from Asus and Gigabyte, what other motherboard brands can you suggest with lower prices than those of the two I mentioned? Gigabyte DS3 is already pricey for me

MSI P965 Neo-F is a good board but its not overclock supported.

How bout ECS? I heard many bad reviews on that motherboard but base on my personal experience, my ECS motherboard had experienced already a short circuit from my PSU unit and is still alive.. I dont know why there are so many critics on ECS..

And also Foxconn? are they also good?
