Well, to make sure that a less then $100.00 motherboard doesn't turn into a motherboard plus memory I'd make sure that whatever you buy also supports your memory. An ATX motherboard is usually faster than a mATX board and really depends on what size case you have and other factors.

This should be a decent ATX motherboard. Just make sure it works with the memory I have assumed you already have.

That is really pushing it... to get a good quality current technology motherboard for $100 or less... Also, so many other things come into play... return rights... returns without a 15% re-shelfing fee.
Better to get a board that has been tested in the marketplace for 100 days... that is where the 100 value comes into play.

As the 925 is compatible with AM2+, AM3 and AM3+ sockets and will work fine with whatever RAM your chosen board supports, the range of available boards is quite large. Under $100 is not very difficult to find, I would recommend either Giga-byte or ASUS as first considerations. I personally use ASUS but have helped others with GB. Both have fine feature rich offerings in a wide variety of configurations.

Newegg allows for this:

It is a listing based on AM3 by user rating for between $75 and $100.
