So I got an ECS NF650i SLIT-A Motherboard, and have been looking for a reasonable replacement mobo for it (northbridge problems). I've been looking at this BIOSTAR TPower I45 but I'm unsure if it will work due to it's fsb compatibility. I'm running a quad core Intel processor with 4gb OCZ PC6400 DDR2 @ 800MHz...

Any suggestions? Prefer 2 pci express slots, decent cooling options, etc. This is a replacement for my development PC running windows 7, and multiple monitors. SLI would be a plus. Budget $100-200.

Thanks.

Holly cow!

I was just looking to buy that mother board last week!

hmm,
BIOSTAR TPower I45 = board #1
http://tinyurl.com/maybeMobo2 = board #2

board #1
Says nothing about supporting a quad core cpu.
It will work with DDR2 ram but not at 800mhz.

board #2
Says nothing about supporting a quad core cpu.
It will work with your DDR2 ram and at 800mhz.

can you give me some more details about the cpu? whats its FSB?
Although, I don't think that matters any more..

I would say that board #2 is the better deal since it has such a wide range of options/compatibility.
