Intel Pentium D need a good solid MB not overclocking

Im looking to find a good motherboard for a 3.4ghz intel Pentium D processeor. Not looking to overclock just want some stable with good speeds to go along with it. Currently i have a AGP video card but i suppose i might be upgrading to a Pci express so thats a non factor but most of my other devices are PCI standard stuff. ANy tips would be appreciated.

GMA X3000 Integrated video will pull you thru until you buy the card (fine for desktop, movies, but for demanding 3D games you'll definitely need to upgrade). Supports Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Quad, has 8 channel sound, RAID, IEEE 1394, and gigabit LAN.

If you're OK with micro-atx:

Integrated video will be ok until you buy the gfx card. Supports Core 2 Duo for future upgrades; however no Quad-core support. 6 channel sound, 100 Mbps LAN.

If you are buying your PCI-E x16 gfx card right now you can also consider:

6 Channel sound, IEEE 1394, GbE, no RAID

 
I recently upgraded my everyday PC to a 805D with a GA-8I865GME-775-RH motherboard. I wanted to keep my AGP card and still use my DDR memory. It's been rock solid from the first day. The only thing I wish I had know was that there are no OC options in the BIOS.
