Best AMD Motherboard under $100

[x31234]

i'm really on a budget here but I'm looking for a new motherboard that will last me for a few years that is under 100 dollars. DFI, CHAINTECH and MSI so many boards to choose from but this will be for gaming. The rig i plan to build is bellow:

AMD 64 2800
1gig DDR
RADEON 9800pro
80gig hd

i don't really plan on overclocking, maybe just to test it out but some games don't like overcloekd stuff hehe.

oh and also a mother board that offers dual channel

 

[NightCrawler]

Dual Channel = Socket 939 = Athlon 64 3000+

Athlon 64 3000+
RADEON 9800pro <<---- AGP or PCi express ? { If you buying new go with PCi express }
80gig hd

2800 = $120
3000 = $147

if pci express gives better graphics i'd take pxi express but im on budget.

PCIe gives you better bang for the buck, and future upgradibility. Consider one of the 754 NF4 boards. You seem to be in a very similiar situation that I was in a few weeks ago. I picked a Palermo Sempron over a Newcastle A64. They are generally better unless 64-bit is important to you.

Oh and a lot of people will push you to 939. It might be a better choice if you do a lot of CPU upgrading or really love getting every bit of performance out. I replacement cycle is 2-4 years, so keeping a mobo through multiple processors is a nonissue for me.
