So far I've looked all through newegg for a specific type of motherboard, to my dismay, as once most of my criteria are sorted, the bastards who make the lone remaining PT880 motherboard seem to neglect the fact that their "PCI-Express x16" is really a PCI-E x4. So anyways, I was hoping someone here might be able to locate a match for all the following:
-Intel Socket 775
-A non-bullshit PCI-Express x16 slot
-2 or 4 184-pin DDR slots (with a 4gb limit, not that 2gb nonsense)
-2 IDE connectors
-ATX form factor
and the ever-elusive under-$100 price tag.
tia
edit: fuck, processor
Looking for a motherboard, confused

i have found TONS of mobos that fit that, up to the Two IDE channels though..
it is Extremly hard to find any board that has that anymore, everything is moving to SATA only.
the Asus P5WD2 has One IDE channel, and Two more that are on a raid controller ( that can run normally, but you will need to feed windows drivers for it ) and it uses two 16X slots ( both will run 8X if you are kickin SLI )
Other then that, i think it would fid your bill, and 8gb max btw.
