I bought 4 gigs ram and a new ATI Radeon (Visiontek, HD3870, X16 PCI Express) card.

I need a motherboard that will handle 4 gigs and Im thinking along the lines of:

Asus, Socket type LGA 775, PCI Express X16, FSB 1066 with ATI or Intel chiposet.

Unless I missed it, I didnt see it on NewEgg...anyone point me to a link or have a similar reasonable suggestion?

Thx

After all is said and done, a lot more will be said than done.

Any of these would probably be good for you http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010200280+50001315+107172333&name=Intel+X38%2fX48

Just make sure the RAM you brought is supported.

Yikes! As much as I'd love to see AMD/ATI come ahead (gotta try and root for the underdog), Intel and NVidia is the only way to go at the moment.

I have a shiny new Rampage Forumula :)

Get a crossfire board it would be better for future proofing seeing as you have hte 3870. Plus the 4k series from ATI out very soon, maybe you could crossfire of of those down the road... who knows.
