New MOBO for Pentium D/C2D
AS the title suggests, I need a new motherboard. I have a Pentium D820 right now and will probably upgrade to a Core 2 Duo when the slash the prices...the 22 i believe. It's been a while since I've been in the market and am looking for something fairly cheap. under 150. I use the computer for mostly just email and burning movies and cds, however, I occasionally play games like BF2 and World of Warcraft. Any input would be appreciated. I have an intel board now. thanks.

Is your current hard drive(s) IDE or SATA interface? I ask because newer 965 chipset boards only have support for one IDE channel.

The P5K's are newer but more future proof, while the P5B's are older but as stable as it gets.
