Need suggestions...

[Linux23]

Can anyone link me to a decent motherboard that can support an Intel Sandy bridge CPU? I'm one of those people that bought a Sandy bridge motherboard with the chipset glitch with the SATA ports and I want to finally get this thing working reliably. It works but it frequently drops my hard drives.

No more than maybe $125. And maybe a link to a decent 120GB or 240GB reliable solid state drive with decent performance.

Any help appreciated. I've been out of the loop for years and need some advice.

Thanks guys.

In that price range I'd suggest the GIGABYTE GA-Z77-HD4 or the GIGABYTE GA-Z77-D3H

The OP didn't say if he was overclocking. What CPU is being used?

Also there are a ton of SSDs out there now. Be more specific on size and budget!

Hello Linux23, I am always a fan of a good Gigabyte board:

And I just picked up one of these and it is a great drive:

Isn't that board eligible for RMA to get the SATA issue fixed?
