| Seeking LGA775 Mobo w/533fsb AND quad core support
I'm looking for an LGA775 mobo that will let me upgrade to a quad core later, but use my rinky dink 533fsb 3Ghz P4 for now. I also require dual-channel DDR2.
A PCI-E x16 would be very nice. Cheap is good, overclockability is phun but not for much more $$$, and max RAM at 2GB will do if its cheap enough. 1066 max FSB will also suffice since cheap is a goal and a Q6600 would be just great. Other than the 533fsb I could care less about legacy support for things such as IDE, AGP, dinoports, etc.
So far I've found: Foxconn 45CMX - fairly cheap @ $64, not a great overclocker, 2GB max, otherwise a viable option
I'm finding quite a few that aren't dual-channel DDR2. I guess I could look and see how much those benchmarks trail...anyone want to do the google work for me?

The Asus p5B-MX states quad core support, but the 1066fsb is not native, only an overclocking capability. That seems...odd. Otherwise the specs are nice with 4GB max dual channel, gbit nic, and PCIEx16. $15 more than the above with a price tag @ $79, leaving the cheap range a bit.

Doh...wait a minute, was I looking at a different Foxconn, because the 45CMX doesn't support quad core...so it may just be some Asus' to pick from at Newegg.
