I contacted lots of computer shops in Sri lanka & most of them hve following mobos.

*An Intel mobo with G35 chipset(Smething like GC35 or G35EC)
*An Intel mobo with G31 chipset
*A Foxcon mobo with a chipset named MV43(or smething lik dat)

hmm. look for ones with P45 Chipset.

a beter solution:

Phenom II X2 550 + 790FX/780G for better performance.
