The LGA775 CPU will not fit into any of the motherboards there because they are all socket 478 and not the socket it requires.

at the moment the way to go is not the LGA775 because it requires DDR2 memory which at the moment can only run at CAS4 making the S478 faster...

Find the S478 version of the 3.0 prescott and put it in a P4P800 E Deluxe (faster than the P4C800 I875 canterwood) or a newer canterwood with all the features you want.

Isn't Intel very limiting ...

i also noticed alot of the user's on this forum prefer amd - but there are some that would go for intel - i'm not sure why im gettin intel - but that last few computers i've had - was intel - but most recent was my laptop - which is amd - runs well and was much cheaper than intel laptops

oh, thax alot for ur quick relpys

Yep, that's the one. It's a good motherboard. There's a more expensive version I believe with some added features, about £108.00, but that one should suit you just fine.
