Mobo recomendations

[a thing]

Anyone have recommendations for mother boards compatable with this CPU?

See anandtech's review's about X2 processors Also be sure to check out their sectionabout AMD recommended mobo for X2 and Mobos with X2 support

Personally I would recommend you go with something like a nforce4 Ultra or SLi, from a good manufacturer such as Gigabyte or ASUS. I haven't ahd a complaint with either of those manufacturer's and their boards are pretty well kitted out.

Hope this helps.

A nice Gigabyte (Socket 939) will do.

All those nforce4 and SLi mobos sound like they only work with nVidia video cards, or are they just optimized for them? I have an ATI Radeon 9100 which works fine without any proprietary drivers.

SLI is for nVidia cards only. However, with a regular setup, you can use ATI cards on any nForce 4 mobo, be it SLI or non-SLI.

There is an "sli" for ATI cards...called crossfire.

you're gonna need a pci-e video card, so your 9100 won't work.
