Avoid the M2N-E series,has stability issues and horrible overclockers.
Try something in AMD 690G based boards.

AMD 690G - is it SLI based or normal AGP?
i think amd 690g is for ATI based cards??

AMD690G is a chipset made by ATI-AMD.Its meant for AMD Socket AM2 processors. Its used by many mobo makers like Asus, MSI,Gigabyte etc. It does not support SLI or Crossfire.It is a PCI Express board and has PCIe 16X slot for graphic cards. You can use Nvidia or ATI Graphic cards with it.

Whats the budget ??

As I would Vote for ASUS M2A-VM (AMD 690G) and a better procy, but unless we get the budget hard to comment !!!

everybody says core2duo is just a market gimmick intel use to sell their processor to us. does core2duo realllllly outperform amd x2??

im really confused abt processor/mobo/graphic card combo. everything else is just standard h/w. dont know what to buy...everybody has a different opinion.

The cheapest C2D 6300 should be around 7000 now, but its really worth........
people with very tight budget should look nowhere else but 4200+ or better 4800+



Yes it does on almost all fronts......better google for some realtime benchmarks and you will know what C2D is............techtree.com, xbitlabs.com and anandtech.com are good sites to begin with...

while buying TFT's make sure u don't buy LG or Samsung (though they r the ones most sold.) Check for other brands...
And go for Intel, to avoid heating issues. Once u add a graphics card(or change it)..The pressure it will put on motherboard even with the fan, is quite painful.
