Socket 478 CPU in need of a PCI-express MOBO

[striker63]

I'm new to this forum so I'm sorry if I'm repeating a topic.

I have a nice system that I use mostly for gaming.
P4 3.0 HT 1MB cache 800FSB 478Socket CPU
Asus P4C800 E-delux MOBO
Silverstone 500W PS
2GB 512X4 PC 3200 Patriot Signature Memory
PNY 6800GT AGP video card
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy2 Sound Card
80GB X2 WD SATA HD Raid 0 (OS)
250GB X2 WD SATA HD Raid 0 (data)

My system runs great and I have had a few good years of use out of it. We should all be so lucky that we get 2+ years out of your gaming rigs. When I built these system I had all kinds of $$$ but now I'm a little on the poor side and I’m looking to see if there are any MOBO out there that supported 478Socket, DDR3200 and offered a PCI-E X16 port.

I found 1 MOBO that did just this http://www.albatron.com.tw/english/it/mb/specification.asp?pro_id=160
but I can't find ANYWHERE to buy, not even EBay.

If anyone knows of a MOBO out there that can fill my requirements or at least come close I would greatly appreciate it.

If you use it mostly for gaming can i suggest an upgrade
My suggestion is an AMD 4000+ which is a single core and one of the best Processers out there. to go with that i advise thise mobo as it comes with PCI-E so you can upgrade and later and an XGP(marketing word for AGP but its bus is a bit faster...) in total the upgrade will cost 200$ but then you really have yourself a gaming computer and bound to see improvement in FPS.\

That's not a bad idea i would be able to keep my AGP card for a little bit too.
