The board I ended up with is a Gigabyte board, but not that one. I'm happy
with my board even though it lacks a floppy controller, it does have an IDE
controller that allowed me to use an older CDR drive. I needed a board that
fit these requirements: under $60, AM3 Socket, accommodate DDR3 RAM that I had
ordered with the defective & returned ASrock board, accommodate the CPU that I
had ordered previously, and most importantly, sold by NewEgg.com (financial
reasons). > PS: You can plug 20 PCIe lanes, 16 for the main (graphics card)>
PCIe x16 slot, 4 shared between the two x1 slots and the second> PCIe "x16"
(mechanically x16, electrically max x4) slot, which> is still fine for e.g. a
fast net/disk controller or SSD card. What do you mean by "lanes"?
