Hello I am looking at parts for a new system as I want to upgrade to Windows 7 and so I might as well upgrade my motherboard as well. I am having problems finding a decent quality Socket AM3+ Motherboard with an IDE Port. I have the following requirements on finding a new motherboard.
1) It must have a Parallel ATA port (IDE Port) as I own two Parallel ATA hard drives that I want to continue to use.
2) The motherboard must be compatible with a Phenom II 945 (3.0 gigahertz) 95 Watt processor
3) It must be an ATX form factor motherboard
4) Price must be below $100
The only motherboard I have come close to finding that only meets 3 of the above requirements is the following (and I do not really like it):
ASRock 880GMH/U3S3 Socket AM3+/AM3 AMD 880G Micro ATX Motherboard - $87
