Which one of these motherboards should I use?I want to start to build a new computer (because now I have a Pentium 2!) but I don't know what should I choose.A friend told me that I should first decide the CPU and after the mainboard.But today I just found these motherboards to discount price.They start at 20$ and go until 30$.And the discopunts are for a few days so I want to go and buy one.About the CPU I am thinking to get an AMD 64 X2 (but not sure yet the model) or a cheap Intel dual core.
Can you help me please?

I would agree with your friend, choose your motherboard after you have decided on most of your parts. This ensures that you account for all of the needs and power requirements, as well as the right connections to fit.

As for your selection of motherboards, all of them look decent, I would narrow it down further depending on what you want or need, and not because of which coupon you happen to have.

Asus A8N-SLI SE i tested it in a client computer and is VERY good

To save much misery later, Pick your cpu or at least your cpu brand and class first!

Then find the board and memory that supports it.

Make sure that is compatiable with the hard drive you want to use.

Extra time spent on these steps will ensure a long happy life for your system.
