Hello there, newbie to the forum here looking for a little advice. I have the following components and I am looking for the best budget motherboard possible for them: Intel Dual Core E2180 Patriot 2GB Extreme Performace PC2-6400 ATI Radeon 1950 PRO 512MB PCI-E I recently bought myself a ABIT IP35-E which they where all installed and working fine in, then whilst removing the motherboard to install a new heatsink I put a screwdriver through the board, now the Abit motherboard was a good board but well it had the double boot issue for a while until i upgraded the bios but I'm looking now for the best possible budget board I can get for my money. Thanks in advance.
what's the problem with the abit if you explain it clearly we can help you easily and coming for the new mobo case, i can offer you to buy msi p35 platinium it's a cheap and performance showing product. in one phrase : quality's cheap form
there was nothing wrong with the abit, just whilst removing it and installing a new heatsink i slipped and managed to put a screwdriver through it, breaking it in a few pieces. I'll have a look at the MSI.
