decent mother board
I got this BIOSTAR MCP6P M2+ 6.X AM3/AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6150 / nForce 430 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard for practicaly free after rebate with a video card combo. It's a good but kinda older Motherboard. It only has a VGA port and does not have neither DVI nor HDMI ports. That could be offset by installing a video card though. since it is a micro atx motherboard it has only 2×240pin Memory DDR2 slots 533/667/800 with Maximum Memory Supported memory of 4Gdual channel and it does not support DDR3 memory. it only has 1 PCI Express x161 expansion slot and 2 regular PCI slots, 4 x USB 2.0 It has NVIDIA GeForce 6150 / nForce 430 chipset and doesn't have southbridge chipset so I don't think that you can not use it to unlock disabled cores on some AMD CPUs although some claim they have Unlocked Sempron 140 to X2 440. In a nutshell, this is a decent inexpensive motherboard for a budget build that most of the time works out of the box . If you are looking for something inexpensive and half way decent buy this if you want something that's fast and runs 24-7 look somewhere else.
