If you want a pretty inexpensive motherboard for $100, the SOLTEK SL-75DRV5 (Purple Ray) VIA KT333 is one of my favorites...it has great performance without the expense, a great variety of software including a tempeature moniter that you can use in windows, and overclocking features. The bios is AWARD's new v6.0, which I highly recommend. Check out newegg.com...its only $98.00 there...but if you don't like it, keep looking around newegg.com...you're bound to find a motherboard that's just right for you.
