Morning guys,
If you don't have a Fry's in your local area, then you missed a great sale. I picked up an Intel Core 2 Quad 6600 for $180. It came with a free motherboard, a cheap ECS board. I could just use the board I got from Fry's, but it only has one PCIe X16 slot, can only support up to 4 gbs of RAM, and has no built-in RAID. So I know it's a shot in the dark, but here is what I'm looking for: a good quality board that can handle 8gigs of DDR2, is SLI-capable and can be RAIDed out, all for under $100. They have a couple of newegg, but they are easily some of the more "discount" boards, like Foxconn and DFI. Lemme know what you guys think!
