Im looking for help choosing a mother board for my new pc, I have a top budget on the mobo of £100.

Intel Skyburg or Asus P5Q or XFX GeForce 9300 although I already have a 9600GSO and this motherboard only takes ddr2-800 ram?

Either out of these or if anyone can find better for under £100 would be greatly appreciated.

I plan on putting 4gb in it for vista64x and will be used as a midrange gaming pc i.e good enough to play most average mmo's.

In the process of job hunting now xD, in fact just sent of a CV but according to the news there's approx. 34 applications per job position where I live, im relying on the fact im under 18 which means they can pay me less to get me through xD

Do you have any recommendations in regards to motherboards that are within a suitable price range?

I'd suggest on improving the GPU instead of the motherboard, I find ddr2 800 mhz to be perfectly fine if you're not overclocking and all that fancy shit.
If your resolution is 1280x1024 or less then get an ati radeon 4870 512mb and if you're running higher resolutions then get the 1gb one.

I think motherboards around $150 US should be pretty high end, from what I've bought.
