    Best Opty Motherboard

    Hey all, after checking out the bargains section of this forum couldnt help but notice the info about opteron 146 and the price, so was just wondering what motherboard you recommend to go with it to overclock to a decent system without going majorly over a budget system.

    Thanks

    Try and find a second hand DFI SLI-D/expert. Should be a about the same as any other new motherboard.

    Thanks for the reply guys, seen an a8n-sli on ebay going cheap (needs a new fan apparently which is easy enough to change) so might go for it.

    Quick add-on question, are there any good opteron motherboards that use AGP rather than PCI-E? I cant seem to find any. It'd be easier for me to upgrade if there were.
