Reliable Cheap Motherboard

[Orionx]

Hi, I am looking for advice on some cheaper (less than $80-90usd) motherboards for an Intel Q6600 system. I don't plan on overclocking and will want at least 4 sata ports and it has to be an ATX motherboard. Just looking for a cheaper motherboard that doesn't have to have any good overclocking features but is reliable. Thanks.

Good manufacturer, stable chipset. ATX, and under $80. Can OC, but more a perk than a purpose.

you said $80-90. Last time I checked 89 was between 80 and 90. I could be wrong though.

It was $89.99. Add tax + common sense. You're wrong.

well once you add in tax and shipping your not going to find anything good for less than $90 especially from intel.

Foxconn motherboards are good! I have 2 that are about 8 years old or so and they are still chugging along.

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.
