I'm looking for a working/reliable LGA 775 motherboard; Intel bus with AHCI; supports 8GB of memory.
 
That'd be nice, but I'm confused about the memory "System Memory Controller
o Supports 512 Mbit and 1 Gbit memory technologies" (p. 16) ... does it support 2GB memory modules per slot, 2x4 - 8GB total? I'm currently using a pair of OCZ 2x2 GB and a pair of G.SKILL 2x2 GB both sets unregistered - non-ecc.

Also does it support PCIe x 16 or x 8? It's not very clear, but documentation says dual PCIe x 8.

I wouldn't have a clue if the S3210SHLC would work well with moderate gaming, or OC'ing (my Q6600 3.0Ghz) either, since I'm use to buying aftermarket (MSI, GB, EVGA) boards; though, I know Intel has very solid products.

Still, I'd assume that you'd be looking for a hefty price for that board, and being college student I have a tight budget, but throw me a rough price.
 
Yeah, I'm looking to get something within the week, and shopping around for something that would be a great deal and very reliable board.

The EVGA 750i that I have is literally on its knees, and unable to repair the ATXpower connector (burned/cracked pins) on the motherboard, since I don't have the correct tools as I thought.

Yes, it supports 4x2gb sticks of ECC or non-ECC unregistered memory. Those should be fine.

The SHLC variant has one x16, and two x8 physical. One of those is x8 electrical, the other x4. See page 25 of the TPS.

This board isn't really designed for overclocking at all. It might be able to do some, but it's definitely a server-oriented board rather than a desktop board.

I was there once :) How about $40?

Thanks unhappy_mage, but I'll have to pass. It was noted to me that the board has a severe I/O limitation PCIe chipset for VGA adapters and only runs at x1. (p. 2)
 
Bump.

Still looking for an LGA775 Intel chipset w/AHCI. No nvidia chipsets please.
 
I have a Asus P5BV very good condition with I/O shield only.

LMK if interested.
