So, it's come to my attention I have a quad core processor laying around, AMD Phenom X4 (AM2+), and it's not going to use. I've decided to get a motherboard for it, so I can naturally use it, and I've found this so far.

Are there any good ones out there? (AM2+ Compatible of course.)

Do you have DDR2 memory, or are you wanting to upgrade to DDR3?

Do you need a lot of SATA connections, or will just a few work?

Do you need lots of USB?

Do you need 2 PCI-E+ slots, or plan on SLI/Crossfiring 2 graphics cards?

Do you use the Onboard sound, and do you have 2.1, 5.1 or 7.1 speakers? (2.1 being 2 speakers or a pair of headphones, 5.1 being 5 speakers and a bass, 7.1 being 7 speakers and a bass).

I have both DDR3, and DDR2 handy, and using either or does not affect me.

I'm only using 2 SATA connections right now, and it's all I'll probably use for awhile.

I'm going to be using 3 USB connections, all at the back, so no issues there.

1 PCIe slot is fine with me, I don't require multiple slots, nor will I for a long time to come.

I'll most likely be using just 1 pair of speakers, and/or a pair of headphones.
