I need a quick bit of help. I am looking to put together a budget AM2 build and need a new motherboard tomorrow for reasons I will not bore you with - though suffice it to say I am not a big Asus M2N-E fan at the moment.

Luckily, I have a Fry's nearby and was wondering if anyone could suggest a board that Fry's carries (or Compusa, etc. if I absolutely have to sink that far).

I saw the ECS board they are advertising with the 3800+ X2 combo but was hoping for something with a bit better reputation. It needs to be stable above all else and overclocking is not much of a concern.

If anyone has any suggestions here it would make my night/morning.

If you need the cpu anyway, I would get one of Fry's combos. Ecs won't overclock well, but may work fine for everyday use. My kv2 lite is the most stable board I've used in a long time.
