I'm looking to spend between £50 and £100 on a mATX AM3 motherboard. Preferably It will support ACC and 2 PCI-E slots would be nice
Any thoughts?

Thanks, but I'm really looking for mATX so second is a no. I checked out the first, it looks promising but apparently max HTT is 237 mhz which is not too hot. On the other hand it's known to successfuly unlock cores^^
Oops sorry, I misread the 2nd as being mATX too.
The DFI one is great, but you could get yourself an ASUS 785G for £70 and not notice any real world performance diffrences.
Yeah, probably overclocks better but i want the option to go CF later. It's all going in an antec p80 mini *drooooooool*
Now considering p55 in the form of the MSI GD45 (http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/MSI-P...rboard-LGA1156) and an i5 750.
word of warning on that msi board, the cpu socket is closer to the top pci-e slot than normal so you may run into issues with large cpu cooler & graphics card.
But it's the same on most of the mATX p55 boards, however with a mini p180 having the cooler through 90 degrees, so pointing up, will work well.![]()
