LGA 775 Motherboard Ideas

[Izaran]

Hello folks!

I am in the market for a good solid motherboard. I have strict requirements, but I am unsure where to find what I am looking for.

I have an aging with dignity Pentium D 945 and I don't have the money to get a new motherboard AND CPU (else I would).

My requirements are as follows:

LGA 775

8GB+ DDR3 RAM

1-2 PCI express x16

4+ Sata slots

ATX if possible Micro is acceptable

Less than $60 ( I know 775's are much cheaper now)

Best you gonna do without going through ebay.

This an OEM board?

I hate OEM boards because the advanced BIOS options are locked...

With a list like that you are going to have to go second hand. Its the DDr3 requirement that kills most boards seeing as most S775 boards support DDR2.

Not OEM, it's a P45 Extreme from Intel. Only comes with an I/O shield. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121348

Good board and it fits your requirements except for the price, which I think is fair considering you're already 4 sockets behind.
