Is there a stable low-end Core 2 Duo SLI Mobo?

[Fritz1970]

I'm looking to build a backup/second gaming rig. Looking for:

1. Price $100-$150
2. STABILITY
3. Compatibility (few or no memory compatibility issues, etc.)
4. SLI

What is NOT important to me are

1. Overclocking
2. RAM speed
3. Quad-core
4. Shiny features

Reviews of all such motherboards seem to be split; many complaints of DOA, incompatibility or bad support. My searches haven't turned up any good candidates, either. Any advice? I'm currently looking at the ASUS P5NSLI at about $100.

Thanks for helping a noob

Well, the older P5N32 is stable. It cant overclock much at all but its suppose to be stable. Dunno the price. I figure since its the first Conroe SLI it should be lowest in price. Not many people used it because it wont overclock. I dont think its quadcore compatible though. Just Conroe compatible. I'm not sure if FoxConn or ECS have something cheap out yet or not. They along with AsRock make cheap lower tier mobos.

The Intel mobos w/ value RAM are great for that kinda thing:

Check out the DG965WH

For those who might have the same question/dilemma as I did, I chose the ECS NFORCE 570 SLIT-A V5.1 775 mobo. Can't use the Intel chipsets, because they don't support SLI.

I'll post again when I've installed the mobo with an update on whether it met the needs I spec'd.
