Default Motherboard Suggestion

I need a suggestion on a good mobo. Want it to be a Intel Core 2 Duo and fast enough to game on without having to OC. unless someone knows a good AMD mobo that can keep up with the Core 2.

how can a good mobo keep up with a proccesor?

you don't really need that great of a motherboard if your not overclocking and don't need dual 16x pcie slots...

just buy some budget board with any chipset since your not oc'ing

I just meant I want it to support a core 2 processor. And you didnt suggest a board, just pointed out my mistakes. But thanks for the try.
