Best LGA775 mobo w/ 4 ddr2 mem slots and onboard video

Hello,
my HP motherboard fried (liquid spill). I want a simple replacement with onboard video and 4 ddr2 memory slots. I have an Intel Q9300 CPU & Vista Home Prem 64bit. No overclocking needed and I do not play advanced games.

what kind of ram? the model number

What kind of power supply, model number/name also (mainly just considering the connecter pin type, if you will need an extension)

Looking at Newegg under search results of
Socket 775 (your cpu)
4x DDR2 (your ram)


Highest rated and cheap.. Looks like a solid board according to reviews:

Or if you want to look through 120 different motherboards, just narrow the search down to:
Socket 775
4x DDR2 800 Dimm slots
Good ratings (optional)


Good luck

Since you didn't mention a budget, I will try to keep it around 100 USD. Intel BOXDG45ID LGA 775 Intel G45 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard can be found on newegg.com and seems to be similar to what you are requesting. Hope that it works for you and good luck with your computer.

haha, guess that settles it ^janxta

And you have a HP model number what ? Best way for someone to check and see what the machine originally came with. Some of these machines can only put certain boards in them and also power supplies.

Does that board have 1 pci-e 16 slot.... 3 or 4 pci 1x slots and 2 pci 4x slots ?

Regarding onboard video and shared memory usage..... I just read where the Asus board will use 1832 mb of memory if allowed and the Intel board will use over 2 gig if allowed.
So, since I already own 6 gig of memory, I am still thinking I want the new mobo to have 4 memory slots.
