Hello guys, I'm still looking for a good motherboard that will fit right in with my parts (or should I say my parts will fit right into 😛)

CPU: Core 2 Duo E6300
Western Digital Caviar SE WD1600JS 160GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
Video Card: eVGA Geforce 7600GT CO
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 ZS

Ram (will do either depending on motherboard):
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 667 (PC2 5400) Dual Channel
OR
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel
____

Yep those are the parts I shall be buying...
If the speed is DDR2 667 or DDR2 800 meens nothing to me... I'll do either depending.... would also like have the mobo support 4 GB- 8 GB

I'm going to be buying a seperate sound card (gamer).. so I don't care one bit about on board or not


HOPEFULLY $80-$120



Thanks in advance!
 
I wouldn't buy an sis chipset board for any Intel cpu. You can do better. For the umpteenth time, I suggest you wait a couple more weeks for more boards to appear. You'll get a better selection, better chipset, and have some reviews to go by. I can't understand the rush. You be lucky to get any conroe in the first batch. You'd better budget some more for the cpu and board.
 
Well the rush is having such a horrible computer and being a gamer....

The quicker everything is ordered the quicker the deal is over...
 
Finally, a quality mid-range conroe board...and it doesn't have any firewire support! grrr... I continue to wait...
