P4 LGA775 board with DDR support

Morning all

I want to do a cheap upgrade to my PC and get one of those P4 2.66 duel core chips with the intention of overclocking it to high 3 or 4gig speeds.

However I already have 2 gig of top quality DDR RAM that overclocks beautifully and have no wish to sell it and buy DDR2

Isn't there any boards out there that supports the LGA775 format and DDR1 RAM along with PCIe and RAID etc?

Really need some help on this.

Cheers

Thanks, i'll take a look. Does the PCIe slot run at full 16x speed though?
I found an Asus board that had a PCIe16x slot 'that runs at 4x'

wtf :confused:

Ah damn, it's only got 2x DDR slots and I need the full 4

Oh well, looking like this cannot be done

Needs to have PCIe mate. I already have an 875 board but sadly it's S478.

PCI express 4x

It's looking like this cannot be done. How frustrating!

I wouldn't mind if DDR2 was MUCH faster, but it's not is it. Not at 800FSB speeds, usually it's slower thanks to high latencies and it's another £160 I have to spend for no good reason :mad:

Yes I think you're right. But I won't bother doing it now in that case

I've already got a P4 3.2 @ 3.5, 2gig ram and a GF6800U which plays most games on higher graphics so it's simply not worth shelling out just yet for a whole new PC
