Intel core-duo matx boards

I want to build a pc using an antec matx case, one of those core duo smithfield chips that are around £60 and I would like to keep an ati agp card if possible. I doubt very much im going to find a compatible board with agp tho, im really behind the times regarding new stuff.

Any recommend a good matx board for around £60? I wont bother with overclocking tho, everything will be at stock

EDIT: forgot to say it has to support ddr1

Just a thing to note - you're looking for Micro ATX (mATX) not mini ATX.

Also, the Smithfield cores are not Core Duo, but Pentium 4.

This thread is pretty much the Internet's best resource for mATX boards:

No experience of it, but overclocking will be very limited.

Abit IP-95
Supports both DDR & DDR2, it's PCI-E not AGP.
Has integrated gfx though.

I have an Asrock motherboard, had it about 3 to 4 months running an intel 2.53 northy and so far ive been very happy with it

nice cheap upgrade for my server.

I wont bother with overclocking so this asrock matx should fit the bill nicely
