I've built several systems using MSI P35 Platinum Combo which runs between $125-145 and can use DD2 or DD3 memory. You can also get the Neo version without Firewire for about $20 less. Very nice board IMHO

I'm going to keep my older cpu, and 2 gigs of ram, and add 2 gigs for now. I'd like to upgrade the cpu later this year, or earlier next year. I'm having problems with the Ethernet port on the p5k flaking out, so I want to replace it. What's the newest/most current chipset? It has to be socket 775, and ddr2. I'd like to spend 150 or less, but if there is something MUCH better for under 200 I'd go that route. I really don't want to spend 300+ on a motherboard. It has to have a lot of sata ports, and an e-sata port. I'd like it to be fanless. Other than that I can't think of much. Thanks! Chris
