New Motherboard - Suggestions Please

[Repulse]

Excuse what seems to be a double post, but maybe I get some suggestions in this section of the forum :-).

Okay so I posted asking for suggestion on a new motherboard before, but now its seriously time I got a new one. I have recently been given a AMD Athlon 5600+ processor, I know its not the best but it saves me the bother of buying a new one.

I was wanting to switch to Intel but as I have now been given a new processor to wat I already have I may as well stay with AMD.

So what im looking for;
A decent AMD full(?) ATX motherboard, that can house 4 sticks of DDR2 RAM, preferably with wireless built in to it. My full specs are listed in my profile.
Im not botheres with the motherboard having on board graphics as the 8800GTX will be put into it.
I wouldn't mind buying another M2N-SLi Deluxe but this is a little dated now and I now longer need the SLi compatability.

System Specs;
Motherboard: Asus M2N32-SLi Deluxe nForce 590 SLi < This is what needs replacing :-p
CPU: AMD AM2 Athlon 64 Dual Core 5600+ (Socket AM2 940)
RAM: 4 x 1024MB DDR2 PC6400 [SoE]
HDD: Maxtor 320GB & Western Digital 400GB (SATA2 7200RPM)
Video: nVIDIA 8800GTX (712mb)
Sound: Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatal1ty
PSU: Thermaltake Purepower™ RX 600W

The M2N32-SLi Deluxe came with RTL8187 wireless, this worked perfectly, so looking for something similar :-).

So please, any suggestions post them here.

Booo! I was depending on you! :-p.

If you could suggest a decent Intel bundle then I may change my mind but I do like the the Zalman cooler I bought for the old motherboard .

Budget?

Re: New Motherboard - Suggestions Please

150 max but prefer to keep it below 100? Tight I now but dont really use the PC that much anymore, would still like it to run good when I want to use it tho :-p.

Re: New Motherboard - Suggestions Please

Blimey, that is low. Well, let me work it out when I get back from the pub.

Re: New Motherboard - Suggestions Please

That's way too low to get a proper Intel build really.

Re: New Motherboard - Suggestions Please

Okays well I'll stay with the cheaper option and stick with AMD, just needsing the motherboard with this and max budget is £70, would prefer something vvery similar to the M2N-SLi, although as I say no SLI compatibility is required (although I am defo after the onboard WiFi).

Thanks all :-).

Found a cheap one, how this;

ASROCK K10N78 GeForce 8200 Socket AM2+?

I don't want to say Asrock is rubbish, but basically they really do cheap boards, I'd recommend going with asus/msi/gigabyte.

And one big recommendation: DON'T get a board with a nvidia chipset, take on with a good AMD chipset. With your x-fi the risk is too high to get problems with a nvidia one.
