I'm building a new computer and have chosen most of the parts but can't make up my mind about the motherboard. I'm looking to spend around £60.

Here's what I have so far:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 (Socket 775)
2 GB RAM (DDR2 800)

The motherboard needs to have:
3 / 4 memory slots
PCI Express x16
SATA
FSB > 1066Mhz

If anyone has any recommendations that would be great.

A bit more info is needed here

Like what you intend to do with the system.
Gamer, Office work, graphics, video edit work.
It does matter.. also what if anything is your intent in future proofing this
Do want to have the option for future upgrades with/without replacing the MB again

I'll be using the computer for a mix of gaming, graphics and video. Nothing too heavy though. I hope that by having vacant memory slots the system should be reasonably future proof.

the cheapest i found is $100.00 dollars (but it was a server motherboard i think)
also, have you thought of:

45 nm is better and faster.

What are your full specifications you were considering?
