For my new build, i need an ATX LGA 775 Intel motherboard with 240-pin DDR2 RAM slots, 20 or 20+4 pin power, one AGP slot (for a video card that has already been purchased), at least 2 IDE connectors, and at least 3 SATA connectors. Can anyone recommend a good one preferably under 75 USD?

also, if you know a mobo that has agp and pci-e slots thats NOT AN ASROCK, that would be best.

If you are wondering what computer it's going into, check the other parts here:

I've looked at alot of motherboards through my days of seeking computer knowledge but i have never seen a mobo with both a Pci-e connector and an AGP connector i would how ever recommend this motherboard or the second one if you on a bit of a budget and wont be using more then 4 sata ports.

First Mobo: Giga-byte P35-DS3R

Second Mobo: Giga-byte P35-DS3L

Sorry dude but you either have a PCI-Express slot or an AGP slot no motherboard has both...as far as i know.
 
I know they do exist a friend of mine has one.
They are very very hard to find tough.
If i remember correctly he had an asrock.
I'm going back to school tomorrow and i'll ask him for you which model it is.
 
Get a Motherboard with onboard chipset, e.g. G31/G33 Motherboard. Then wait until you got money to get a new GPU.

By the way, Asrock has a board fulfil your requirment, but not recomment.

check this mobo out
has 2 downsides:
- only 2 sata connectors
- doesn't support the latest cpu's

this is good, but the mobo i already have picked out is the same model but newer and with 4 SATA connectors. im looking for a gigabyte or maybe asus mobo thats reliable. i suppose it doesnt have to have pci-e slots, but limitations is the last thing i want on my new build.
