I need to select a motherboard for the e8400 and the radeon 3870

I'm pretty sure it would need pci xpress 2.0 x16 for the Radeon 3870 x2 to work well. All the Intel boards I found are $200+ Are there cheaper products I can buy?

na the cheapest board that is going to to that is $199

1. Get P35 Motherboard, although it work at PCI-E x16 1.1, you can run 3870 on that.
2. Get GA-EX38-DS4 as reddivil6 said
3. Wait until the end of May. New Mobo with intel P43/P45 chipset, which support PCI-E x16 2.0, will be released (if ther is no delays)
