Budget 775 mobo

[flaminggerbil]

I'm throwing together a budget system for someone with a few of my old parts (E8400 and 4gb PC2-5300) as well as some new stuff, but struggling to find a decent budget 775 mobo which also has a firewire port, the low end of DDR2 775's is gettting pretty sparse..

Anyone got a recommendation? Would be much appreciated.

GA-G41m-ES2L - about $70

But neither have Firewire.

The lack of firewire being the problem

Google search (keywords "lga775 with firewire") found several including Intel brand boards in the $80-90 range.
Newegg.com search yielded about the same - lowest price for lga775 with firewire was an Intel board at $79.99.
Looks like your budget will start at $80 + shipping.
