<br>
I had problems with our main computer this weekend after the cheap and<br>
nasty Asrock motherboard had I/O problems again and caused the drive to<br>
become corrupted. I've reinstalled and managed not to lose any data<br>
*touch wood* but think its time to change the motherboard for something<br>
a bit better before something really bad happens.<br>
<br>
Its a Core 2 Quad Q6600 with 2Gb memory but I'd ideally like something<br>
which would allow me to upgrade CPU/Memory in the future as<br>
necessity/funding demands or allows.<br>
<br>
Im working to a budget, around £60-£80 tops, which I know is far from<br>
ideal. PCIe graphics but not bothered about sli/crossfire, SATA drive<br>
connector, apart from that I'm really open to suggestions!<br>
<br>
I've been looking at Asus P5Q, Gigabyte P43 & P45 but motherboards<br>
aren't something I really keep tabs on so Im quite out of touch with<br>
what's out there.</blockquote><div><br><br>I've never had a problem with an Asus or Gigabyte. However I've never used an Intel processor so don't follow the Intel kit much.<br> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

Thanks for your help!<br>
