does any 1 know P4 2.8 HT (512kb L2 cache) compatible motherboard which has PCI express slot, 4 ddr1 ram slots, at least 2 sata ports, without (preferably) any onboard memory
{onboard fsb=800mhz}

m not sure whether my pro is pinned or pinless

I'm in the same position you are with a 865gbf and 512k cache 3 GHZ p4. I think all the 512k cache p4 jobbers are socket 478, so I think that's what you're after.
Newegg only has 1 board with socket 478, pcie, sata, DDR1-400 2GB max

Note newegg lists 677 as max fsb, mobo manual lists 800.
50 bones.
Via chipset though
Here is the vendors page and manual for the board:

I was hoping performance AGP cards would be super cheap as the interface is obsolete, of course they're priced just shy of the cost of a new pcie system.
edit: bah only 2 mem slots listed, sry. I found an asus via google socket 478 pcie, but I couldn't find it for sale. I'm saying good riddance when I can afford it.
