I'm going to purchase a AMD Sempron 3000+ and looking for a motherboard for it. I've looked through the reccommended mb but still have the question of "What motherboard is the best and at the best price"
Looking for a solid motherboard with USB Booting Support and works well with the AMD Sempron 3000+.
I'm sort of a newbie when it comes to technical issues with the inners of a PC, but have a decent amount of knowledge for building the machine. (Did my last 3).
In the past I've used Abit, Tyan, Gigabyte motherboards, but I would like to hear what others have to say about the new boards out there.
Also, if you know of a good site to purchase combo units (motherboard and cpu), please post.

Any assistance will be appreciated.

Thank you,
Craig

A good overall no frills motherboard I usually recommend is the Shuttle AN35 Ultra. It's a decent price board with decent features.

Check for Sempron Compatibility, last time I checked it was Sempron 2200+ ready, a quick email to shuttle and they will be able to tell you if it will take a Sempron 3000+, there should be no reason why it would not support that cpu though.

I'll second that board.

If you want something with extra features... Then the MSI K7N2 Delta2 series would be a good choice. Gigabyte's 7N400 Pro2 has some of the extra's as well.
