Soooo..... I don't suppose anyone has a spare AM2/AM2+ motherboard with 4 ram slots laying around that they don't need, that they'd be willing to sell for cheap? I don't need anything fancy, like dual pci-e 16x slots.... just something to plug my x2-3800, 4770 and 4x512 sticks into.
I'm trying to get my hands on a working/reliable one to get my half sufficient gaming, half bedside htpc working again and ebay isn't being very cooperative what with always having auctions end up $10-$20 more than I am comfortable with, and that's before shipping. ($10-20 isn't very much, but right now I'm really trying to cut unnecessary costs)

You will be hard pressed to find a AM2 motherboard that has dual 16X PCI-E. Most run at 8x and 8x if you are running two cards. But in your instance you would only run 1 card. That is if you plan on adding another card.

He said he didn't need anything fancy like dual PCI-E 16X slots. Have you looked at a new one? I am not sure how much you are looking to spend but at Newegg there is this one for $65 including shipping: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138124 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138124)
I have had a biostar TForce in my system now for three years I think. Been running good the whole time.

My mistake.

My mistake.
That's what your parents said....OH! Zing!

Yeah, something like that Biostar is generally what I'm looking for. Simple, pci-e, 4 ram slots and gig ethernet. Looks like I'll have to wait until next month to have the guarantee that I can get a reliable one. Hopefully I can get it before the lan.
