Well if you are thinking to use the ddr2 ram for the quad core processor then let me tell you that would not be a good option. Since quad core processors must require a ddr3 ram for a high performance. So first do have a check with your ram specifications and do change it with the DDR3 ram. So I hope you will do the necessary changes. As per as the motherboard requirement is concerned then I would advice you to go with the MSI 790XT-G45. Though it is a little higher than the price range that you have suggested. It will come around $89. So do have a look at the particular motherboard it will definitely not disappoint you.

Well in the above solutions specified above. It is mentioned that some motherboards can be used only with the ddr3 ram. That’s quite true those are called as the am3 motherboards. AM3 motherboards do not run with the DDR2 ram. Whereas AM2 motherboards run perfectly well with the DDR2 ram as well as the DDR3 ram. So if you are looking for a good AM2 motherboard then I would advise you to go with the BIOSTAR TA790XE AM2+/AM3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard. This would be the perfect option for you. It will easily suite with your existing system and will not give you any performance issues. So do have a look at this particular product it will definitely impress you.
