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 :p)

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.

The quicker everything is ordered the quicker the deal is over...
