Recommend me a good Motherboard.

YinYang.ERROR · Aug 31, 2009

Requirements:
-Has to be AM3
-Has to support DDR3 RAM
-Can't be too pricey (I'm operating under a budget)

Other Info:
-I don't plan on over-clocking much (if at all)

Also is Biostar any good? I was looking at this Mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138141

I think that biostar is an excellent choice, especially for the price. Stay away from the 770 chipset if you decide on something else.

Biostar is the best choice.. also consider that Gigabyte and asus are great too for AM3

I what is the difference between a micro-ATX motherboard and a standard ATX motherboard? (besides the size) is it just how many pci-2.0 slots they have?

What is cheap? $120? $90?

If your looking around $120 really any of the 790GX boards are good, it's a good chipset and hard to fubar it really. If your looking around $90 look at the 785G chipset, the Asus board has CF capability (granted 4x in second slot), but it OC's well and is a killer price.
