64-bit Motherboard

[chadr6]

Can anyone suggest a good 64-bit motherboard in the $70-$100 range?

Chaintech VNF3-250
Epox EP8KDA3J ..... now that they fixed the bios
Soltek SL-K8AN2E-GR
ASrock K8S8X

prob missed a couple, but there are a few good ones in that price range.

I'd be careful with the chaintech, it has very bad Bios with lots of problems and chaintech updates Bios from time to time (very long periods). I was sick of my ZNF3-150, I won't buy chaintech again.

Well, the only thing wrong with the initial Chaintech bios was that the CPU and System temps were off by about 20F, but besides that mine has been working fine for over 4 months. I have built 3 more systems around this board, and all of those are still going good too. I have only updated the bios on a few of them.

I had 2 RMAs of the ZNF3-150, they worked ok for 3-5months and them they will have problems to boot, then blue screens and no post.... it was a really problematic board. Maybe VNF250 has fixed them but I've heard of lots of people having lots of bugs with them in Pcperspective Chaintech forums, very similar troubles to mines. Maybe you're a lucky guy
