Folks,
My PC won't POST and since my PC is 2.5 years old, figure I might as well cheaply replace the CPU and Motherboard, and recycle the rest of the parts.

Can you recommend a good AM2 motherboard for under $120 that'll couple with an AM2 X2 4600 and the rest of my gear and RAM?

Maybe you should consider selling your current memory. Check prices on ebay as people seem to pay a lot for old tech over there. DDR2 is really cheap now.
