FOXCONNMOTHERBOARD
The Foxconn K8M890M2MA-R2SH is a really cheap and cheerfull Socket AM2 motherboard. There's only one way that a manufacturer can come up with a motherboard that sells for such a low price, and that's by using every feature that the chipset has to offer without bolting on any extra gadgets.
The chipset in on this board is the VIA K8M890 which includes VIA/S3G DeltaChrome graphics (cheap and nasty) and a VT8237R Plus Southbridge.
There are two DDR2 memory slots so you get dual channel memory support, and if your a gamer and the integrated graphics aren't sufficient you can plug a proper graphics card into the PCI-E x16 slot provided.
There is also a PCI-E x1 slot and two PCI slots. The Southbridge supports RAID 0 or 1 for the pair of SATA connectors and there are four USB 2.0 ports on the I/O panel ...
The Foxconn Core4 Series P35a motherboard offers everything a intermediate gamer could need. With prices ranging from £ 75 - £80 this enables you to purchase that duo/quad core processor everyone is after. This product is Microsoft Vista Compatable.

I bought this motherboard enticed by the price and the chipset - this was a very cheap motherboard for the features it boasted. It has many features which are useful and works well as a whole, but it is not a good gamers/high performance motherboard as the overclocking options are terrible. The temperature readings are also quite often far too high for the cpu, and the system fan is placed directly next to the pci-express slot, so is usually covered by the graphics card. The other problem is that the graphics card fan will render the pci slot below useless, and having upgraded my graphics card with a larger fan I now cannot use either pci slot. The onboard features of the motherboard are what would be expected - 4 usb ports on the back and 2 on the front, only 1 IDE connector and some SATA ports. Bear in mind that this is also a micro-ATX ...
