Recommend me an AM2 motherboard ?

[Sprite]

Don't really no much about the AMD side of things so could someone reccomend an AM2 motherboard that will be used in a friends rig ?

Preferablly mATX, needs PCI-E and decent OCing abilities.

The AM2 version of the Gigabyte DS3 would be nice

Alright cheers, what are those boards like to OC though ? I would like to stick an X2 3600 (65nm one) in one and pretty much max the chip out at 3.0GHz ish

No personal experience, but don't foresee any special problems with either. I don't know enough about them to say if they're especially good for OC or not.

the best OC mATX AM2 mobo atm is the abit nF-M2 nView (& I'm not just saying that because of my abit fetish it's widely acknowledged).
Scan are out of stock of the standard version (@£39 I'm not surprised) but have the WiFi version in stock ~£55.

Alright cheers, I think I'll wait for the £39 one to come in, don't need WiFi that badly

BTW nice price Scan, cheapest on other websites is like £50/60 ish

Think I'll have to get one of those nF-M2 nView at that price at scan, abit have always been good clockers and that particular board on AM2 is regarded the best for overclocking on m-atx
