Asus M2NPV-VM

I have been using this board for over a year. No issues at all. I run an Athlon 64 3800+ CPU and 2 gigs ram. 2-512's and 1-1gig. Was skeptical that the board would not recognize ram correctly with the mix matched setup but it did. My cpu runs at 2.4 ghrz and with this board it handles anything I throw at it with onboard graphics. I put in an Nvidia graphics card because I am a graphics artist and have tons of stuff open at once. Oh.. and for the gamers it will handle it. Don't worry.

The ASUS M2NPV-VM Motherboard for AMD single-core Athlon 64/ Sempron and Dual-core Athlon 64 X2/ Athlon FX processors using socket AM2 is very user friendly, I went with AMDs 64 x2 3800+ processor in the beginning then moved up to 4200+ 2Gb Ram without any hassle, very easy to setup and fits easily in a standard ATX case. A possible downside to the board is that it has a limited number of slots due to being a micro ATX sized board. That's not a big deal for me as the only two cards I'll be buying in the future is Graphics and a extra Lan card.
