hey...
I was looking at the following Motherboard's for an AMD X2 dual core..which ones would you recommend and why? (bearing in mind i have NO idea how to overclock)

Foxconn N570SM2AA socket AM2 motherboard

Asus M2N-E SLi socket AM2 motherboard

Gigabyte M57SLi-S4 socket AM2 motherboard

They are all similar priced but the foxconn has the same SLI chipset as the Gigabyte one but does not say on misco.co.uk (UK version of tiger direct) that it supports SLI gaming.

Would you recommend any other similar or CHEAPER MOBO's? (i would like it to support AMDs Cool and Quiet technology if possible but not sure how effective this feature is)

You mention SLi - is this something that will be an important factor in your decision?

Do you recommend 2 graphics cards in SLI mode or to invest in one pricey graphics card? If the latter is true then i guess SLI isn't important for me at the moment.

Sli doesn't have a large performance increase and is not worth the price of it. One graphics card the same price as buying two graphics card will be ok.

so what in your opinion would be a good motherboard without the SLI feature...as the one listed at the top of this thread are around £50
