Socket 478 Mobo w/PCI-e x16?

[Shadow Conception]

So yeah, I could sure use one. I need one to replace the one inside my Dell system so I can actually install a PCI-express x16 video card in it to play today's games. Any suggestions? I've Googled, Newegg'd, and Froogled, but still can't seem to find any.

It needs to be able to fit in my Dell Dimension 3000 case, as well. Must support 800FSB and HT Technology. Is it impossible?

I don't think those motherboards exists. "Think" is the keyword in that sentence.

I still have a socket 478 CPU but I think it was created like a year or two BEFORE PCI-E came out. Not sure manufacturers like to combine old-school and new-school.

*EDIT* - HOLY SH1T!!! I was wrong! MSI has two boards! Dammit...I can't post the link for some damn reason...I'll just post the mobos.

Those boards don't support Prescott CPU's, only the 'Pentium M' family.

Here is one that does support prescott :

But I have e-mailed them about 2 months ago (aftre waiting 2 other months) asking when it would be in.....well they didn't know. They still have it listed but its never been in stock. The only way to get this board is to buy from overseas! These are for your help or anguish depending on how you see it:

As I said, won't find it in the states, only overseas. Intel marketting department we can thank for that.:|
