Best budget mobo?

[Raingod]

Ok well i'm looking for a new budget mobo, currently have a asus a7v333 but its at the end of its life since i can't upgrade cpu anymore(got a 2400+). Not looking for sata or raid since i'll be building a new pc later when mobo's with pci express comes out. Was looking at the SOLTEK 75FRN2-L NFORCE2 for around 98$ Canadian, read some reviews and they said it was a good board. Need to keep the price close to 100$ better if its under that since i'll be getting some new ram too either 512 of pc 2700 or pc 3200, depends on price.

Just get an xp-m 2500+. You can set the fsb to 133 and the multiplier to 18. This will give you more bang for your buck than a new board.

It's not easy to get an xp-m in Canada.. :frown:

I like Abit NF7 v2.0..equiped with everything you need, easy to use, performs very well, OCs very well,..an excellent board

At EPoX site they have refurb 8RDAs for around 40 US, I have one since 02 never had a hickup.

..this is very useful and helpful place for information...
