--------------------
After much to-ing and fro-ing with Asus and Corsair technical support, I have just received an RMA code from ebuyer.co.uk!
Ebuyer have stopped stocking my motherboard, so I need to choose an alternative board. The original cost was £46.27, so I would like to spend that (or thereabouts - under £50 ideally).
So, the obvious question is now: please can someone reccomend a board from those under ~£50 from: http://www.ebuyer.com/search?store=2&cat=14&subcat=658
I have:
Q6600 processor
2 graphics cards (Nvidia Geforce 8600GT; Geforce FX 5200)
a single sata dvd burner
3 HDDs (1 sata, 2 ata)
PCI-e 1x wifi card (but I also have usb cards, if pcie 1x wasnt available)
4GB of Ram (2 sticks, as above in this thread)
I currently use stereo audio out, but I would like to retain spdif and 6/8 channel for when i get a new amp.
I dont need onboard gfx (unless I can also use onboard with the gfx cards I have)
-------
all in all, I'm after something that will a) work with my RAM! and b) be reliable
Thanks a lot

oh, and I forgot to say, I would like plenty of usb sockets, and ideally 8GB (or more) RAM support for futureproofing, and I will probably want to mildly overclock at some point in the future.
in fact, there are no motherboards < £50 that are atx on there.
and the first that will allow >4GB of RAM is: an MSI board - has anyone any experience of this?
Or should I go for the asus one link to ebuyer?
or Gigabyte?
