My motherboard wont work with my new CPU. I need a new motherboard that supports

QX9750
DDR3 1600
FSB 1600
No SLi or xfire
I want 2x Ethernet

Any good priced mobos with these specs? I can give on the 2 ethernet ports for a good price but I cant find anything for ~$100.

What CPU do you have?
What motherboard do you have?
Why do you need 2 ethernet ports?
 
Sorry, I edited out the cpu type!

I am getting a QX9750. I had a asus p5k64 ws but it doesnt support 1600 FSB or 1600 memory. I use two ethernet ports because I have a crossover connection to a file server as well as my LAN
 
I know! thats why I am willing to give on the two ethernet ports because I can always add a PCI card for that but the ram and fsb are a must.
 
This upgrade makes no sense as what you getting is in EOL and the same as x58 and i7 920 CPU.
 
I agree with shiro. But if the chip is free, the only chipset to officially support 1600FSB is X48. Also, is the chip an ES?

$135 - ASUS P5E3 PRO LGA 775 Intel X48 @ egg
 
I am getting it from a friend. It is costing me $80. The upgrade makes perfect sense.

That ASRock says it supports 1600FSB and its p43. is it wrong??

Many boards support 1600FSB via OC, but again, the only chipset to OFFICIALLY support 1600FSB is X48. I'd avoid AsRock unless you can't afford anything better. I'd stick with Gigabyte and Asus.
