WOF: How much did your motherboard cost?

@Per Hansson: how they say - "Nice job, well done"

$105 for an ASUS P5Q Pro (LGA 775, Intel P45) in september 08 - part of a newegg combo deal with my Core 2 Duo E8500. I don't need the second GPU slot, but with the combo deal it was cheaper than a single-slot from MSI, ASUS, or Gigabyte.

In 2005, though, I paid $160 for a Socket 939 DFI NF4 Ultra with a lot of features i didn't need or use, such as SLI (with a #2 pencil mod), dual gigabit LAN, and tons of voltage control and overclocking options. I could have gotten by with a board that cost half as much!

Foxconn nForce4, $60.

I spent £65 on mine and to be honest It doesn't have as many features as I would like it to

£46 Asus P5P41D.. emergency Buy after Gigabtye n650i went tits-up .. and frankly its faster, and better. The dual channel memory works in dual channel mode. SLI was Ballox to me. I'm all about storage now, adequate GFx, meaty CPU

I have bought Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard for 270 Euros. A very powerful motherboard which supports also USB 3.0.I am very satisfy with it. I absolutely recommend it to everyone.

I am a big fan of Gigabyte products.

Hi, I basically own the same rig as two years ago, only with an upgrade or two. I share the same opinion about buying an new motherboard, i usually chose the best board without the bells and whistles, that gamer oriented products have. My motherboard is an Asus M3A78 (around 70-80 EUR at that time), i upgraded the cpu to an Phenom 2 925 about an year ago, from an older X2 , 6GB DDR2 800, a Leadtek Nvidia 9600GT, a Promise Tx2650 SAS/SATA RAID controller and a RAID 0 configuration of two SAS 74GB/10000rpm seagate drives, also two WD 6400 AAKS (640GB Blue), an Bluestorm 2 550W PS and an Antec Three Hundred as a case. Also thanks AMD for having a longlife platform, that can be upgraded more easily.

Crosshair IV Formula £170, Phenom II Quad Core 965 £160, Dominator GT 4GB BEMP £170, Powercolor 5850 pcs £230, Western Digital VelociRaptor 450GB 10000RPM SATA 6Gb/s X2 RAID 0 £440, Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB SATA 6Gb/s X2 £140, LG CH10LS20 BluRay - ROM - DVD±RW Drive £60

$131 2/09 -- ASUS P5N-D Motherboard - NVIDIA nForce 750i SLI, Socket 775, ATX, Audio, PCI Express 2.0, Gigabit LAN, S/PDIF, USB 2.0, Firewire, Serial ATA, RAID

75$ for my Gigabyte board. My only complaint is that if I try and use a PCIe x16 and a x1 video card at the same time, the x16 card will not start. Not an issue though, until I get windows 7.

Asus Crosshair Formula IV for $230.00 from Newegg and all the PCIE slots are full. I use nearly all the features it has and overclock, so it was worth it to me.

phenom II x6 running on 60$ ATX ASROCK...

I got myself about a year ago an ASUS M4A79T Deluxe just because, EVEN NOW, is one of the few boards with 4 Pci Express slots. back then in Nov 2009 I paid for it $249 bucks. So the whole deal was to populate those beautiful PCI Express slots, and that's why I got myself two ATi's 4830 and one 4850 in a 3-way Crossfire configuration. The other components are:

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Blk Edition
2x2Gb G.SKILL RIPJAW 4gb 2X 2GB DDR3 1333 MHZ 10666 RAM
2x Western Digital Black Caviar 500gb
OCZ GameXtreme 750 W Power Supply
23' LG W2353V Full HD LCD
Thermaltake V9 Black Edition Mid Tower Case
XIGMATEK Dark Knight-S1283V cooler

I've had a Gigabyte GA-EP45-UDP3 for about 2 years that cost $114.99 on New Egg. Have a Q6600 at 3.4GHz on air. I've gone up to 3.5 but toned it down a little. Dual Radeon 4870s. Ready to invest in an NVIDIA 4870.

Asus p7p55d-e. $165 aud

$200 (Aussie) Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H. First time going AMD/ATI

Gigabyte GA-P55A-UD3 I bought at the beginning of June for $122. Considered a budget high-end board, but does everything I need it to do. Mated with a Core i7-860, OCZ Vertex 2 SSD, and the HIS 4670 I bought last Black Friday.

HTPC has a Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L, purchased for ~$55. Great budget board.

Only other board brand I have experience with is Biostar: A G31M7-TE I found for $40 and an A785GE I got basically for free with purchase of an AMD CPU. The former would never boot up with the P4 Prescott chip I purchased it for despite the CPU being listed as supported on their website), and I just got done diagnosing the latter for boot failures (turns out it didn't like my Corsair memory). Biostar works fine eventually, but I have wasted a lot of time diagnosing things that just worked without hassle on Gigabyte boards.

Crossfire on P45? Works well?

It is taking me more than a year to decide the which is the best motherboard in market that suits my requirement. I have constantly repeating to these motherboard companies that neither me and nor most of us are fan of or intend to use SLI config or more than 1 graphics card on my mother board. I dont any one will do that. I dont intend to use overclocking, not atleast now dude. But yes i will use the last most powerful graphics card in town on my motherboard. I want all the ports and connectivity on my motherboard for sure.

I want only one pci-e slot for my graphics card, i require atleast 7 expansion slots while more are appreciablen, 3pci slot & 3 pcie x1 slot. latest driver for audio, atleast dual lan and what not dude.. I want all the advance features on my mother board but the only thing i dont want to see is dual graphics pcie slot

I believe it's a P5KPLCM Asus and I got it on sale in the Chicago Tribune for $150 including the Intel processor at Frys.
