    New Motherboard.. which one?

    i have just bought an e5200 processor, and for some reason my motherboard doesnt like it.
    therefore i am considering buying a new motherboard, under 65 quid (incl p&p), and i was wondering if anyone out there knows any good motherboards for this price?
    i have looked around myself and so far the MSI iP43 or 45 seems like a good choice...

    any posts will be helpful,
    thanks

    Biostar P45 isn't bad for £73

    What mobo do you have though? It might just be a case of flashing the bios.

    As Mike said a bios flash may well be the first thing to try and will definately be worth looking into. Otherwise:

    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/152576 - Asus P43

    Under £65 and they do free delivery.

    Re: New Motherboard.. which one?

    If I were you, I would go for the Biostar, I have the TP45 HP, (just over £80) in a clients computer, and its great, got an e8200 to 4.4GHz, withe 800 RAM running at 1100, (and not particularly ocable RAM), and that was my first time overclocking!
    Biostar's new motherboards are really good, with the top of the range, (only just over £100), holding the current wolfdale FSB record, just over 700mhz, and just being known to OC very well, (which I presume you will be doing with the awesome 12.5 multi, )
    The voltages are written as increments ratehr than full values, but that just means your maths is gonna get better!,

    Just me.....
