New motherboard suggestions...

[RexRazr]

i'm gonna need a new motherboard and before i buy it or opt for anythin specific...pls tell me sth:

does AM2+ socket motherboards also support AM2 processors?
does the XFX 8200 motherboard has a full-fledged PCI-E x16 slot?
and pls also suggest any other good motherboards within 5k for my processor (amd x2 6000+ 125w) which has a full-fledged PCI-E x16 slot...

am2+ socket supports am2 cpus. so dont worry about that.
all GF8200 mobos have full-fledged PCIe X16 v2.0 slots.
i wont recommend GF8200. go for mobos based on AMD 780G chipset like the one from Gigabyte GA-MA78GM-S2H. 780G has xcellent onboard gfx,sfx,lan blahblahblah and comes with latest PCIe 2.0 and HDMI with HDCP.
