Currently I have a (Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 Yorkfield 2.83GHz LGA 775 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80569Q9550) My MB died and I wanted to keep my processor and upgrade. I was looking for a FSB of 1333, PCIe 2.0, DDR3 @ 1333 and that's all.. the rest I don't care about.

The problem is I can't find any sellers that have any MB in stock. If anyone has any idea please let me know. Thanks

Anandtech has a trader named virtualarry who has a new DFI x48 board for $200. It has what you're looking for.

Thanks 4the help. But I might be confused here... none say PCIe 2.0 all of them just say PCIe Can they handle a PCIe 2.0 card then?

Well even if its not Express 2.0.....PCI Express 2.0 is backwards compatible with 1.0. And there is only a little performance gain from 2.0 over 1.0
