I need a good motherboard match for this processor...

[Rob]

This is my first build and will appreciate input from anyone. My first
question is what would be a good matching motherboard for this processor?
Preferably a motherboard with accomadations for some really nice RAM that
won't break the bank.

=========================================================
The Intel 865 DPERL offers HT and dual channel memory support as does the
ASUS P4P800 Deluxe.

I'm running the INTEL with a 3.0ghz P4 with a gig of pc3200 ddr memory, and
the ASUS with a 2.4ghz P4 with the same amount of ddr pc3200 memory. As for
memory, I've a combo of Kingston and Elixir on both boards without conflict.
Both systems are rock solid running XP home edition.
