Help needed in finding a motherboard

[leelad]

I'm looking for a mobo with similar specs to the Asus p5p800 SE, I have the standard (p5p800) version of the board and after a silly amount of checking and double checking thought I could use a pentium d in it with a BIOS upgrade. I was wrong

The SE version works with the chip i have but is very hard to find none of the searches i've made have come back with anything that is in stock anywhere on the planet.

I'm basicly limited by the following:

2 Gig of ocuk DDR ram
AGP Radeon x1950 512MB

I just need something to tie me over until I can stretch to a monster rig in a years time.

If anyone knows of *any* board that will run my things I would be most grateful!!

The Asrock DUAL-VSTA runs both DDR and DDR2 RAM as well as both AGP and PCI-E graphics. It can handle all 775 socket cpus as well as quad core CPUs if you get the quad core version of the board. The standard version of the board only supports dual core. Mine works nicely but don't expect much of an overclock. Currently on just a 290fsb myself. It's very good for slowly upgrading your components though.

Also you should remove your remark about the competitor if you want your post to stay here.

That looks pretty impressive. I remember reading about a few cards that where due to be released just after everyoen started hyping PCI-e but I then heard that none of them ran well

I'll go for that I think much appreciated!!

I'm also not sure what you mean't by competitor so I butcherd my post!!
