Core 2 Duo & 4 IDE Devices - Motherboard recommendation?

[Quix]

I'm getting a Core 2 Duo e6400 processor, but I haven't made the move to SATA yet, so I'm trying to find a decent motherboard that has two IDE connectors, but still supports Core 2 Duo. SLI is not necessary. I'm sure I'll move over to SATA after this, but for right now, I'm trying to do this upgrade a little bit at a time as money allows.

Thanks!

[Edit] Or should I just get the best motherboard that Tom's Hardware recommends and get a PCI IDE Controller card to slap in there to control my additional IDE devices?

Get the PCI IDE card. I have one by Promise (it was only around $20) and has two IDE/133 ports for 4 devices. That way you won't be limiting your selection of great motherboards over 1 lousy IDE port. If you need the extra drives without using a PCI slot, get a couple external drive cases and put two IDE drives in those.. and connect them with USB 2.0.
