Need a "budget" mobo

[dunerider5]

I need some recomendations or at least some information on what to look for in a fairly cheap mother board. I will only be spending like 500-600 bucks on this comp, and its mostly for internet use and stuff, but maybe some gaming.

Any help is greatly appreciated, btw.

what procssor do you want? AMD or Intel?

Choose a better motherboard with a slower processor. You can always upgrade you CPU at a later date but a cheap motherboard will always give youtrouble.

Im going with the amd athlon 64, probably 3000+. And 512 ddr pc3200.

754 is correct, psychic. Thank you very much.

You can go S-939 for not much more. S-754 does not offer dual-channel memory if that's what you are looking to do.

I dont think I need dual channel. Ill stick with 754.
