Yeah youre right...that one is quite similar to the one i had...and is a good price as well...more advanced mobos would be nice with a new fresh build for sure...

Just to make sure that's the one you need, the one Soulzz posted is a micro ATX format. Not sure what case you have, but wanted to make sure you knew.

The. Link that I suggested is DDr2 board, look at specifications. Also, the board supports USB 3.0 & SATA 6.0; for a 120 bones hard to pass up.

Sorry, I was looking at my phone and seen dual channel, then seen the DDR3 above it. If u can find a DDR2 board that supports the USB 3.0 & SATA 6.0 go with board;

Tahk You Balls i saw that when i was checking it out ....but if you suggest a new mobo that supports all that stuff in my opinion would be nice with a new setup so i would get all the advantage of it.... so for now im gonna keep it running for few more months ya know ....
