Motherboard advice needed.
@ Technical Discussion forum

Yo.

Currently got a gigabyte ga-P35-something, with 4 gigs of DDR2 (800mhz) and an Intel e8400. My ram is currently dying (loadsa paging errors/bsod) and whilst looking for more, found that it is actually cheaper to get DDR3 @ 1600mhz (8Gb of DDR2 is about £80/90, whilst I can get the DDR3 for £35...). However, my current motherboard can only support DDR2.

So, I'm looking for a new motherboard than can accommodate DDR3 and an e8400. I'm looking to upgrade my processor at some point in the future, maybe an i7 or something similar, but don't have the money to do so atm.

ALSO, I have 2 ati hd5770's so would need to be able to run them in crossfire. Only got one on my current one just now :(

tl;dr - looking for a new motherboard, Intel based, ddr3, 2 pci-e slots for crossfire. Nothing too expensive, about £70, although can go higher.

edit: i'm a silly bugger.
