Broken Motherboard - Need a replacement

[BigfootsMonk]

Hello,

Used to have a Jetway A210GDMS PRO but it sucked and it's broken. Just normal computing with no OC or anything like that. Sent back to Newegg and got a refund.


Anyways, this is the board I'm looking at to replace it.

The specs for the rest of the machine:

Athlon 64 3000+ Socket 939, stock heat sink

Case

Hitachi 160g PATA HDD ATA not crazy fast
no link

Some generic memory, 1g, DDR400
no link (will post more detai later today when I get the chance to check)

Videocard (needed for dual display)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814125044

Will the motherboard be compatible with these specs? I haven't seen anything that wouldn't be yet. More importantly Micro ATX is Micro ATX right? So it is guaranteed to fit in the case?

And will the motherboard be able to use the ATI Radeon 3 view thing where you can setup 3 monitors?

Everything looks OK for your basic microATX set up -

Dual display with the X300 should be OK - No idea how you would set up 3 monitors --

The 3 monitor thing there's a program I think that does it. I think it came with the old motherboard or the videocard. But if it can't do 3 monitors that's no biggy at all. Main concern is compatibility and stability.

How trustable is ASUS these days? I'm really out of the whole computer phase.

Two things 939 is dead, don't put any money into it and Aspire sucks hard.

Abit NF-M2 nView -- Much better then the Asus board. Includes integrated DVI + VGA.

Coolermaster Centurion 541 -- mATX, compact, clean looking, good air flow.

Seasonic 330 watt S12 -- Very high quality, nearly silent, APFC, very efficient.
