hello. nathan here.

 

i am having a new pc build and so i'm wondering which is the most compatible, BUGET motherboard. i only have £40 to spend on a Motherboard, so i need none of this nonsense of £250 motherboards. owe by the way it has to be intel, socket LGA775.

 

 

 

Cheers for any and all help!!

I have had good successes with two Asus P5K-VM and many Gigabyte P45-UD3 boards.

 

I have personally tried..

 

EP45T-UD3LR

EP45-UD3P

EP45-UD3R

 

I get them on Overclocking PC forums where the majority of the high end users are moving to i7. So those GA boards that are still VERY good for a overclock Mac are available for cheap. Both of the P5K-VM cost me less than 45.00 each.

 

My EP45-UD3P is running at 3.8 GHz on a Q6600. It will be @ 4 GHz as soon as I get a new Heatsink. :-)

 

That is what I like about OSX86.... having a solid Mac with the flexibility that PC motherboards offer. Overclock, OC Memory and a variety of video cards currently not supported by Apple.

 

Good luck on your build!

Not sure about prices in Europe but here in the US Gigabyte's G41 and G31 chipset boards are around $50-$60 (or about 33-40 GBP) and work with SL 64 bit.
