Hi all, I've ordered 4x2GB of DDR2 RAM, but I can't find a motherboard with four DIMM slots. I can see plenty with two DDR2 slots and two DDR3 slots, but that is obviously no use to me... My price range is as cheap as possible to about £70 and must be able to handle a C2Q Q8300 CPU. Can anyone recommend me a board? Thanks very much, Ben |

You're probably going to be looking at second hand. I did have a board that would have been perfect up until about 3 days ago but a guy at work has just had it. |

Hmmm, may I ask what model you had? I'll be scouring eBay! I found what looked like the perfect board, the picture showed four DIMM slots, but the description said two... |

Mine was a 680i board. I'd expect any of the decent S775 chipsets to have 4 slots; 680, 780, P45, X48 etc. (think those are the right numbers). |

I've managed to get a second hand "ASUS P5N-T Deluxe nForce 780i SLI Intel 775 DDR2 ATX MOTHERBOARD" for a little over £80. I'm really surprised that two DIMM socket 775 mobo's are still quite common, while four DIMM equivalents aren't... |

It's because all the 'serious' users have moved on to 1155 and 1366 etc. All you've got left are a smattering of boards that are aimed more at the HTPC market as they don't really require the grunt of a full machine. |

My 775 board I just got rid of (Asus P5K Premium WiFi/AP) had 4. |
