The ASUS N4L-VM DH takes the T2300 but it needs DDR2

Not only do the AOpen i945GTm-VHL and i945GTt-VFA take DDR2, but they take it as notebook SODIMMS as well!

You could look at the ITX size boards as well. I think the later Foxconn Tuckaways take CoreDuos.

of the aforementioned do any come in under £100 and allow me some reasonable overclocking options, iirc the Asus does not allow vcore adjustment

Don't know about the overclocking - most of these are not mean to be clocked, they are supposed to be quiet I guess. The only thing I can suggest is to go to the relevant manufacturer's websites and download the manuals. The BIOS screenies are usually pretty informative about what is and isn't possible.
