Default The search for a motherboard...

Two actually. Here are my criteria:
  • Socket 754
  • mATX
  • AGP 8X
  • nForce chipset

and for the other:
  • mATX
  • Dual CPU, not dual core, dual CPU

The first one I really need, as I cannot overclock because locking the PCI/AGP buses, without overclocking at all, at stock speeds, with nothing but the buses locked, it'll stop posting. That's an Asus K8V-MX. All the mATX Socket 754 boards I seem to see at VIA chipsets, but if there are nForce3 ATX Socket 754 boards, why not any mATX?

The second one I just want for fun, doesn't matter what socket it is, just want to see if they actually have any.

In both cases, I don't have a set budget, but I'm not clipping coupons for them either. NewEgg hasn't had anything that would work, and neither have the other retailers I've check. So I come to you guys.

Anyone who can help me out will get a 23 point rep boost.

I need mATX. I can find full ATX that works, but I need a mATX board.

Biostar TFORCE6100 is probably what you want (68$)

List of MATX motherboards that OC (Most of them will, some won't)
