Really noobish question apologies in advance

OK Im about to switch to Intel once again after choosing AMD for several years. Im slightly confused on one or two things.

Ive purchased a 6750 chip which has a fsb of 1333mhz. Does this limit me to only 1333mhz boards or can i choose the 1066mhz boards as well. Also what mobo do you recommend for this chip upto £65?

Many Thanks

Most of the 1066mhz boards will run the 1333mhz Conroes fine (some of the early versions of some boards won't). But you're best buying a 1333mhz board anyway.

And an IP35-E will be fine with an E6750.

Ok Ive just checked out this board and it requires a 8 pin 12v connector from the PSU. I have the Hiper Modular 580w PSU which only has a 4 pin connector. I have seen 4 pin to 8 pin convertors for sale but are these necessary?

Nope. The 4 pin plug will work fine.
