Epox 8rda or Asus A7N8X. Both can be had for around/under 100. Are you sure your current motherboard is dead?

i think so.. because 2 different cpus didn't work on it.
and i made a mark on it.

i am going to order this :

Asus A7N8X-X hovedkort for Socket A
nForce2 400/MCP, ATX,ATA133,USB2.0,LAN

is it good / easy to setup?
