You could try the EPOX EP-4PCA3+, gets good reviews and is about 134$ at Newegg. I personally always buy ASUS mobo's, they have always been rock solid for me.

one question..........if i was to buy a dual DDR motherboard does that mean i have to use the modules in groups of two? i only have one module at the moment.

Thanks

that was probably because oof the SiS chipset. generally it's a good idea to stay away from those. for p4, stick to intel's 865 and 875.

one module will work fine. but two (preferably identical) will give you a performance increase.
