Hi guys,
Recently, my motherboard decided to crap out. So I sent it back to Newegg. Newegg received my RMA, approved it, and then remembered they don't carry my motherboard anymore. My Dad will get $70 on his credit card soon, and we obviously want to spend it on a new motherboard. I was looking for suggestions. I need something for socket 939 3800+ Venice, and maybe a 3800+ X2 Manchester with a PCI Express slot. My memory died on me too, so I don't need to worry about various voltage issues (I'll be buying new RAM with the motherboard). I'm not looking for the most 1337 overclock on TPU, I just want something reliable, powerful, and just plain cool. The motherboards currently in my consideration- Feel free to post comments/thoughts/rants about any of these boards if you have (had) any of them. Or if you have any recommendations, please say so.
