hey guys i need a new mother board on the cheap
it needs to be a 478 socket and have at least 1 PCI-E slot and 3 PCI slots
also it would be helpful to have 4 dimm slots
if you know of any mobos that have these features input would be helpful
Well, PCI-e socket 478 mobos were quite rare since LGA775 had already come out at that point. However, you do have options.
Something like this has all of what you're looking for: http://www.asus.com.tw/products4.aspx?l1=3&l2=12&l3=27&model=167&modelmenu=1
Of course what really matters is the cost as you say, and since all of these are definitely discontinued you'll need to do your searching on places like eBay, although I don't know where you are which might affect your options.
