Which motherboard do you recommend.

I just ordered a SATA-300 drive and now I need to get a
motherboard/cpu that will use it.

Cost is important so the sky is NOT the limit. But I want at least
an AMD Athlon 64 3500+ processor.

I am not a gamer so a built in graphics would be nice, but am willing
to pay $120 bucks for a graphics card.

Which motherboard do I need?

I went with an ASROCK 939SLI32-eSataII

Man is it fast, and only $80 for the motherboard.

 

If you are going to use onboard video DEFINTLY get a NVIDIA GeForce 6150
board like this one. The best video right now.You will also be able to
upgrade to an athlon dual core cpu later. .
