Best Motherboard for me????

post #1 of 4

Thread Starter 
I currently have a Biostar TA890FXE (AM3) for me AMD 1055t. I am looking to upgrade to the AM3+ socket. I cannot afford to get a motherboard and cpu at the same time so I am going to get the motherboard first. So I will need something that will work (temporarily) with my 1055t until I can afford a nice new AM3+ processor. What would be my best choice right now for what I am looking for? I would like to stay in the $150 or under range unless there is something way better for a bit more $$. Please help me out here and thank you for your time!! smile.gif
