    Quick opinions please: Best Nforce2 motherboard in the $50 range.

    No looking for much, don't need Raid or SATA. Just good 10/100 LAN, decent audio, stable and overclockable. Nevermind, needed quick.

    Help, system is screwed.

    Good idea on testing with a PCI card, unfortunately I don't have one. No strange beep codes, so I guess some parts of the motherboard have fried while others are working. Looks like its time for a new MB.
