Default Good Motherboard < $100

I am liking for a good motherboard with good overclocking capabilities. I have a 4200x2. And this thing will probably power a HD4850 down the road. Thanks!

Do you have a discrete graphics or are you planning to go on board vga initially?

The GA-P35-DS3L is a great board for under $100. The only downside to this board is there is no raid, and it is not PCI-E 2.0.

Edit: I take it back, when I bought mine in Jan, I got it for $89.99. Just looked at the Egg, and it's $109.99 when its back in stock. Those customer choice awards rape the prices.

I have a pci gpu I can use... I don't need onboard. Though if I can have onboard and still have great overclocking abilities that would be great. Thanks guys!

Did you guys even read the post? This is an the AMD motherboards section, and he clearly stated he has an AM2 4200+ Cpu. Reccomending an Intel P35 chipset probably won't help him much.

Bought this for my parents' rig. Seems pretty solid, really. If it's anything like my 965P-DS3, it's great for OCing.
