| Motherboards
I need a damn new motherboard, but I don't know much about the brand and quality out there. All I know is that I need a motherboard that has 775 slot/microATX/supports 5GB of ram & Intel Q6600. Budget will be up to $150.

I'm partial to Gigabyte as I always seem to run into minor issues with Asus boards that I never run into with Gigabyte boards.

ya gigabyte are quite good in terms of price/performance ratio but their mobo's are butt ugly with all their bright/tacky colors.

I'll say Gigabyte too since I'm using one right now and no problems at all, had for almost 1 year already.

Whats your comp budget?

^ Hmm.. I'm not planning to build a computer as of now. Just upgrading my damn Acer M5620. But, I might consider building my own pc if I know how much I could sell my pc for.
Acer Aspire m5620
nVidia 8600GT
500GB HD
3x1GB 1x2 GB RAM
DVD-writer
Main reason why I want another mobo is because I wanna install OSX and dual boot it on my PC. Can't afford a damn Mac cause they're expensive.

An Acer Aspire m5620. -_-"
But like I said a few posts back, if I can sell my pc for the right amount of money for a custom built pc +&150 which I am planning to spend on a mobo. I wouldn't mind doing so.

custom case is the way to go. generic ones always cause problems and are really limited
