I have recently upgraded my CPU to a Barton 3000, unfortunately my mobo cannot run the processor and stay stable at 166 mhz. I would like to replace the mobo with a PCI Express capable motherboard. Would someone please recommend a PCI-E motherboard that can run a Barton?

That's not because of the socket, it's because none of the chipset makers bothered making a PCIE chipset for the 32-bit Athlon platform anymore. With the CPU being end-of-lifed next quarter, this wouldn't have made much sense anyway.
