[CapNBD]

I just got my power supply replaced but now the motherboard is dead. What would be a good one to purchase to replace/upgrade this motherboard:
-Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard (Purchased 3/26/09)

It needs to be compatible with:
-Intel Core 2 Duo E8500 Wolfdale 3.16GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor BX80570E8500
-Sapphire 100251SR Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB 512-bit (256-bit x 2) GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
-2x G.Skill 4GB (2x2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL6D-4GBNQ (Purchased 3/26/09)[8GB Total]
..etc...

Any advice would be greatly appreciated..thanks!

Choices are very limited since it's an old socket now. The major etailers don't even sell P45 boards any more. You'll have to look around the used market for a good motherboard that suits your needs.

Either that or another of the same board you have

 

[Techtu]

if your in the US...

GIGABYTE GA-G31M-ES2L LGA 775 $49.99

or

MSI G31TM-P21 LGA 775 $44.99

But you'd have to cut down your RAM to 2 x2Gb - 4Gb total.

Here's a full list, Be careful as there is some DDR3 boards in there too,

My bad, didn't realise it's an x2 card and not two 4870's in crossfire mode =/

I don't want to reduce my memory..so which one should I get? My current motherboard is available for around $150 used but I'd rather not get a used motherboard. What other model could I get that would be compatible? (under $200...)

If your in the US here is a site that still carries 775 that are decent for less than $65

Don't forget about www.PRICEWATCH.com

mostly for socket 775 its kinda cheap now below 150$
dont pay attention so much on pciex 2.0 coz it would work well on previous pciex slot, but if you could find the 2.0 version it would be better
this is the list, i got it in indonesian, forgot the language just take alook the list for lga 775

ebay still has some nice MBs left. Abit looks to be the one carrying a few good bit around

Why not RMA your board. P45-UD3P is one best overclocking boards you can buy.
