Nagasama disgruntled ex-moderator Messages 6,956 Location probably on the lake Jan 17, 2008 #2 MSI k9a2(790x) is 100 dollars. its about the cheapest. the k9a2 platinum (790fx) is tri-crossfire, its 175. the "real good" phenom mobo would be the DFI 790fx-m2r. its like 250 bucks though. EDIT: the nvidia am2+ mobo's are slated to be released sometime this quarter.

M maroon1 Banned Messages 3,479 Jan 19, 2008 #6 So, you want to pay $150-$200 for a mobo ? If I were I would get GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L motherboard for $100 with Q6600 which perform better than Phenom 9600, and I think that the total price would be cheaper as well Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 Kentsfield 2.4GHz 2 x 4MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Quad-Core Processor - Retail I'm just giving you my suggestion, so I hope that AMD fanboys don't come here and attack me.
