budget c2d mobo

[lancec2c30]

Well I need to find a budget core 2 duo motherboard. Preferably under 90 bucks, it doenst need to support 800mhz ram. But it does need 2 ide controllers cause the guy we are helping still has a ide hdd.

Anyways, it also doenst need onboard video.


Thanks,
Lance

ya, that works. But it has that 8x pci-e. Maybe He can get the money for a sata hard drive.

Thanks.

You can connect two devices onto 1 IDE channel...

Nah my buddy went with the ecs that board should be no problem for him.

my dad and friend both have that ecs motherboard and it works perfectly, theres nothing wrong with it at all, except the fact that you cant overclock worth ****
which should be expected from a budget board

With the 8x pci-e don't you lose some of your gpu performance? or not?

When you run the hdd and cd drive on seperate channels you get better performance.
