I'm in the process of buying a P4 3.2Ghz(E) from someone here on the board, and I need help finding the right board for my specifications.

I need something that supports a 3.2E, SATA and PCI-Express (for a 6600GT that I'm buying also)....

I've searched over at NewEgg and all I could find really were mobos for the LGA775.

Is there anything that you know of that can fit my needs? Or do I have to sacrifice my SATA hard drive for a IDE drive instead (so I can keep my PCI-E card?).

Thanks for your help!

All the Intel boards that suport PCI-E graphics have at least 4 SATA ports.

There are socket 478 boards based on the 915P chipset, but I would highly recommend you get the LGA775 Pentium 4 for upgrade possibilities.

Well I already promised the guy that I would buy it, I rarely go against my word (at least I try not to).

I might buy it, but also buy a LGA775, and sell the 3.2E to someone else.

I think Albatron is the only company that makes a 478/PCI-E board - based on 915/925 chipset. I'm not too fond of Albatron.

I should've went with my first instinct before trying to go after the 3.2E ;) (I had added into my 775 cart over at NewEgg).
