I'm looking for a budget motherboard for AMD 64 3200+, as in at the cheapest cost possible. Any suggestions on which one to go for? I'm looking to buy it in Hyderabad.
And y would he want to trade in an a8n-e for a cheap mobo? If sock 939 is what ur looking for then a msi k8ngm is very good value for money. And try to stay away from asus... mainly coz of the after sales service. I'm sure quite a few ppl will vouch for that.
Why not Jetway M2A692 GDG Motherboard comes for around Rs. 3600/- and if want much much cheaper than this then go for VIA K8M890 Chipset such as MSI K9VGM-V Motherboard.
No sense in going for Skt 939 when you get the AM2 X2 3600+ for around 3.4k and the Jetway 690G chipset board for 3.3k - A total of 6.7k. But if he's on a real tight budget, then the 3000+ and the Jetway 6100 chipset board for 5.4k is the best option.
^^Ya thats true... with sock 939 ur only going to have limited choice. It's no point buying older technology tends to be more expensive as well as inferior. It's going to be easier upgrading later as new cpu's come out u can carry on using the old mother board and ram.. etc etc.
