which motherboard

A question about : which motherboard

i need to replace my motherboard.
there seem to be a million to choose from.
i want something for around Ј50.
any suggestions what to get and where to get from?
i have a pentum 4 cpu.

Best answers:

• erm..
  first ask yourself a few questions..
  do you want onboard sound?
  do you want onboard graphics?
  What else do you want built in? Network card?
  Places to buy - ebuyer or dabs are probably best..
  Manufacturers.. Abit, Asus... MSI perhaps..
• i already have all the toher components.
  it is a p4 2.66 cpu.
  i replacing a microstar ms6701 motherboard. i have 512 ddr ram.
  not sure about onboard stuff to be honest. (i know i had realtek ac97 sound -or something like that).
  is this enough information.
• ok.. well basically do you have a sound card and graphics card? if you do then you don't need any onboard sound or graphics..
  512 DDR RAM - is that one stick of or a matched pair of 256 (as if it's a matched pair you could go for a board that runs dual channel ram meaning faster..)
• i have 2 sets of memory of ram.
  i have looked inside. it seems that there is a graphics card but possibly not a separate sound card (all the headphone/speaker sockets seem to be coming from the motherboard.
  thanks
  (just in case - when i switch on the power absolutely nothing happens - does this still mean that the motherboard is dead - as far as i know it has been checked with a different power pack)
• one other thing
  at the moment i am looking at the asus p4s800d e deluxe and also abit vt7.
  (from pc pro)
• only prob with the asus.
  has fsb of 800.
  must admit not sure what exactly this is, but it seems new, is it possible that this may not be compatible with my cpu (p4 2.66).
  i am now looking at pc pro archives for older motherboards.
  i have just found the asus one on novotech.com for Ј30 less than everywhere else - seems a bit weird
• well i have ordered the asus from novatech (for Ј30 less than everywhere else).
  thanks for all your help
