Need Mobo Suggestions

Through a fairly amusing example of complete idiocy, I just blew up my motherboard. Hopefully, the CPU didn't go with it, but I'll have to see about that.

Assuming the CPU is good, it's an Athlon 64 3200 Venice. I just need a good, relatively inexpensive mobo to replace the one I had. I won't be doing any overclocking at all.

I might as well go SLI if it's not much more expensive to do so, but I don't have any immediate plans to get a second X1900XT, especially since I'm got the additional expense of a new mobo, and a new PS to run the video card.

I'm not wedded to brand names...the board I just blew up was a Biostar T force, and it ran like a champ 'til I nerfed it. I dont' want a total cheap POS, but the less I have to spend to get a stable, care free board, the better. Thanks for any suggestions!
 
well, yeah, I guess I should have noticed that earlier :eek: , but do you need mATX?

If so, I'd just stick with another Tforce. If not any NF4 Ultra board will do. I used a Chaintech VNF4/Ultra and it worked well with a Venice.
 
don't need mATX. I could just get another Tforce...not a bad board. Worked great for over a year 'til I hooked up my new Thermaltake GPU PS backasswards. I posted a fairly hilarious review of my stupdity on newegg...if they approve it, my mental deficiency will be known to all :D
 
Do you want new or used? You can probably get a great deal from the FS/FT threads if you don't mind using someone elses old s939 board.
