Foxconn has a reputation for making mediocre motherboards with few features and low quality hardware, and if you noticed the one you recommended was mico-atx when he wants atx. (actually a small version of m-atx 9.6" x 8.0" standard m-atx is 9.6" x 9.6")

It seems the Gigabyte P31-S3G that Johannsen recommended is my best bet. Only has a max capacity of 4GB of memory, but I suppose that's an acceptable tradeoff for the price and reliability.

I agree, it is tough to find a reliable Intel motherboard for much cheaper than $100. That's the reason I made this thread. I have been researching quite a bit for a friend.

Kudos again to Mr Johannsen.

unless you live in new york, new jersey, tennessee, or california, there is no tax, and shipping is $7.50. If $7.50 is going to break the bank for you maybe you should consider selling the double wide...or maybe you would rather sacrifice quality to save the $7.50.

Someone seems a little ornery lol.

Thanks again to Mr. Johannsen, for his help.
