I think I've found a good motherboard http://www.overclock...rodid=MB-087-GI
Is it? The descriptions not so clear on overclockers. So here is the gigabyte overview http://www.gigabyte....?ProductID=2547. It supports 45nm the same as the e8400 processor.

UPDATE: Oh Dear, I've just looked at the prices of DDR3 memory, I'll have a look at the cheaper gigabyte mainboards.

UPDATE: I've found aDDR2 mobo it isn't p35 its x38 (better?) http://www.overclock...rodid=MB-110-GI

Yes, the X38 is the sucessor to P35, though overkill for your needs.
It you want lots of SATA ports get this one it has 8.

Though I cannot see a typical user needing that many SATA ports, keep in mind there are no firewire ports on that motherboard.

Overkill is my middle name

Two years from now the x38 will be viewed as ap35 is now, in 2 years time for the p35...
Maybe I'm just paranoid about futureproofing

To be honest, the only major advantage the X38 chipset has over the P35 chipset is both the PCIe x16 slots. Unless you plan on crossfiring (which I don't recommend), you'd never notice the difference between the two boards.
