Hey guys...

As you might know, I have (more like 'had' :() a Foxconn G31MX-K 2.0, but I totally screwed it up by bending like 75% of the CPU socket's pins (don't ask :P). So now I'm looking for a new board and need some help from you guys to choose.

My budget is really small, so I've chosen to stick with the good ol' G31 chipset. I've also chosen to NOT go with Foxconn this time, mainly because I want to try a different brand.

So, what are the G31 chipset motherboards available in SL? And where can I buy them? Would also help to know the price. Remember guys, NO Foxconn or Intel.

My choice right now is either the Gigabyte G31M-S2L or the Asus P5KPL. I know the Gigabyte's price (thanks to the price index <3) but I don't know the P5K's price. Anyone know?

Please help me out, thanks!!!

    But out of the Gigabyte and Asus, which one do you think I should get? The G33 looks awesome, but I can't spend that much right now :(.

    Foxconn G31 is the best for that price

    Dude, I don't want to get the Foxconn coz I can't go higher than 270 FSB. So I can't OC the CPU to 3.6 GHz which is my target. Been wanting to get a new mobo if this dies.

    So, any more help :)?
