New MB...

[leinadM]

Ok, I'm going to build me a nice new computer. I haven't been up-to-date on motherboards in months, so I need help in deciding which motherboard to get. I want it to be stable and good for gaming. And of course I want there to be plenty of expansion space

Any help would be appreciated!

Get a nForce2 board if you are going AMD Athlon

Abit has a good one

a7n8x is also a good one to throw into the mix along with abit

Thanks everyone for your help. I'll take a look at the nforce2.

I can honestly recommend the Asus A7N8X. This is by far the most stable and easiest to set up board I have every used. It is very stable and plays NOLF2 silky smooth.
