Please can I have some recommendations on motherboards, I have about £90 to spend, buying these, if that help?:

Intel Core 2 Duo E2160 "LGA775 Conroe" 1.80GHz (800FSB) - Retail
and
PowerColor ATI Radeon X1950 XT Extreme SILENT Heatpipe 256MB GDDR3 VIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

So need something that will suit that. If you need anymore information, I will be happy to provide.

Thanks you
Chris

Sorry,

I would prefer it to be Future proof with ddr3, but at the moment I'm only using ddr2. [2 gig]

After asking a few people sli/xfire doesn't seem like I'm wanting to do, so no that's not important for me at this time.

I'm not a big guy on sound, so most likely would just use on board sound.

I would also like firewire please to connect video camera to.

so yes, the best I can get for about £90-£100

Thank you

Thank you for recommendations, I like the look of the:
Gigabyte GA_P35C_DS3R (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 & DDR3 Motherboard

Also while I was searching, I came across this, is it any good, would it suit me?
Asus P5KC Combo Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 & DDR3 Motherboard

What does the chipset refer to, does it matter which one I go for?

Of the Abit Fatal1ty board, but just the fact it's Fatal1ty puts me off

It's like buying Nike trainers because they say "nike"

But included it anyway just as comparison, any of them?
