looking for a decent sub $100 mobo

[tim12379]

Im upgrading to intel, but im not entirley sure what mobo to get.
Im rather short on money, so im not looking for anything high end.
The cpu im gonna get is the e4500, since I heard it was the best bang for the buck atm (although of you guys think otherwise, let me know.)
Im completly clueless as to what mobo to get. Preferably would want something that has decent OC options, and is fairly reliable and easy to find drivers for.
Any help would be appreciated

Abit IP35-E imo, It's treated me good so far and easy to use. I think it was $50 AR from the Egg.

Im not so concerned with ez to use, im fairly good with computers, however ive sorta been away from em latley, and thus dont know the current models out there. By reliable I mean that I dont want to be the only person with my mobo, as I was literally the only person who had my old motherboard, and thus it made things rather difficult.

Still thx forthe reccomendation, ill go check it out. Only thing that worries me is that easy to use might not have enough OCing features

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L FTW... i absolutly LOVE mine, zero complaints and it took my e4300 from 1.8 to 3ghz at less than stock volts... gah i love that board. best 90 bucks i spent.

I am with nd4spdbh2. I have the same board, seems to have some pretty good overclocking options.

I went with the Abit IP35-E, mostly because it was $60 shipped AR (its currently at this price again on newegg, use code MB311FS for free shipping). I have no complaints, works good with my E2180.

ya i was looking at either the IP35-E or the DS3L back when i bought a mobo for my htpc bout a month ago. One of the main reasons i didnt go with the abit ip35-e is the lack of undervolting options. Cus i do like to keep my cpu's cool. and if i can undervolt its all the better, and turns out my e4300 does 3.0ghz (66% oc) at 1.250v (1.325v is stock so 5% undervolt) temps drop bout 4-5*C with that small undervolt.

Plus IMO i think gigabyte has a better product... i looked at the IP35-E and i just got the feeling that it was "cheap" (thats a harsh word to use but i can think of any other word... i went to frys to look at the boards and the IP35-E just seemed not as well put together) but for 60bucks AMIR, and you dont need undervolting or insane ammount of memory options like the DS3L then the IP35-E is the way to go

Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3L.

Why I chose this?

One of the most solid inexpensive performance boards I have ever delt with within $70-120 range. I used them in many high end system builds and they are least likely to come back with problems within a 2 month period. Unlike certain models of Abit, Asus, MSI within that price range I had to deal with .
