decent inexpensive LGA775 board
looking for a board for core 2 duo, nothing flash though as i wont be overclocking at all. Just a decent reliable board thats not expensive. I know the P5B is fairly recommended but wondered if there were any known solid reliable boards below that in price?

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=476331 Those two boards are ok. I recommend the DS3 though. Whilst it is renoun for its overclocking, it isn't expensive and is very reliable!

well the gigabyte board would work out more expensive than the P5b so would probably knock that one out of the equation
on another note i would need to have sata and ide connections for HDD as i have my sata drives and my two IDE drives that would need connecting too

You aren't going to find two PATA conenctors on any 965 board. You'll either have to find a 945/55 or 975 based board that support core 2.
