Need a LGA 775 mobo. pls help!!

im going to buy a new pc and im stuck with the mobo. the cpu im going to buy is a e6750 hopefully. i've gone through various web sites and read some reviews, but im finding difficulty narrowing the boards down. the budget for this mobo is $200 US (the lower the better). can you guys kindly reply with the mobo model numbers for me to look into.

i would also like to know if the mobo has the future prospect of upgrading to a 45nm processor. also i would also prefer a integrated graphics solution for me to get through few months until i find a good VGA card. this is optional though. im not interested in a SLI/Crossfire setup.

your help would be grately appreciated. thanks in advance. :)

Integrated graphics usually restrict you to a lower-end motherboard I'm afraid. If you really want to go that route, the ASUS P5K-V isn't too shabby.

If you want a fairly minimalist tweaker board for around half what you want to spend, the DFI Blood Iron P35 T2RL is an excellent choice. It does support the upcoming 45nm processors, but only at 1333MHz FSB speeds - the 1600MHz FSB processors aren't confirmed compatible on the P35 chipst.

If you want to spend closer to your budget for a full-featured motherboard, for just a shade over $200 you can get the Gigabyte GA-X38-DS4 board, which is the cheapest Intel board that supports PCI-e 2.0 on the market that I know of. These boards may not support the 1600MHz FSB either though.

Try checkig out various models of the nVidia 680i SLI mobo. The earlier versions many not be bad either.MJ0LNIR_SPARTAN

680i doesn't support Penryn. Further, P35 and X38 overclock better than 680i.
