  1. The Soyo mobo I have now is wearing out(socket contacts).
    I have a P4 CPU and don't overclock.
    Any suggestions for under $100USD?

    I don't know if you want an m-ATX or ATX, but I've been looking at the Foxconn 661M03-G-6EL Motherboard, it is an m-ATX and has pretty much everything you could need right on it, including Firewire built-in! Price is right too, and reviews are pretty good. Not the Mobo for OC'ing, but great for someone like you that doesn't. Here's the specs, it supports pretty much whatever you have P4 or Celeron - up to 3.06 GHz and 800 FSB.

    Here's a link to the product page at PC Club:

    Some info from the PCC page:

    Item No: A4801005
    Manufacturer: Foxconn

    Price: $65.99

    Features:
    Processor: Supports Intel s478 P4, Celeron Processor
    Chipset/FSB: SiS661FX / 400, 533, 800MHz FSB
    Memory: 2 x DDR400 up to 2GB
    Slots: AGP 8X, 3 x PCI
    Ports: 4 x USB2.0, 1 x IEEE-1394
    IDE: 2 x UATA/133
    Video: High performance 256Bit 3D/128Bit 2D
    Audio/LAN: 5.1 channel, 10/100 Mbps

    You can also pick it up at your local PCC store if you want.
    They also sell it at Newegg for $60.00, it was recently $57 on their site. They increased the price by $3.00 when they sold out (and it still says limit one per customer, might be very popular because of price vs. features). I'll probably be ordering one for the new box I'm building.

    P.S. It's also at several other sites, check pricewatch.com

    Hope that helps.

  5. Thanks everyone for the suggestions but I found a Chaintech S865PE for $75.I needed an ATX board with onboard connectors for front USB and audio and the reviews were good for the Intel 865PE chipset.

    BTW...newegg.com has this mobo for the same price but zipzoomfly.com has free 2nd day shipping.
