Not sure about P-45, but ASRock has a Dual-775 that has 2x DDR2 slots and 2x DDR slots. It supports both an AGP and a PCIe (running at 4x because of shared bus or bandwidth or something, but I used it for years). Just to name one example.

Any particular reason you want the P-45? There seem to be plenty of socket775 around that still take DDR2.

   C,mon krusty,  thats a hard one to swallow!  lol, I will look that cross bred board up though! Is it a manly ATX or a mini? prefer the ATX, easyer to work on! the Intel P-45 chipset is a rocksolid doggon good platform performer for the dieing 775 breed!  Im just trying to help out a fellow squaddie who has decent stuff added to a store bought comp!  and as alway's, moneys a concern.  So far I've been to Newegg,Tiger dir,my Micro-center,Fry's!
and to no aval!  cept E-Bay  (used)

No hook, 'sall truth.

The board in question is full ATx. I wasn't running high end graphics. I currently just have a Ge 9600 GSO in there. Enough to run AH with terrain on and textures at 512, but not with shadows on.

The DUAL series line is interesting with ASrock, however the overclocking isn't good (don't buy it for that) and they may have different DUAL models.

Here's the ASRock link:
http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=775Dual-vsta

However, if your only criteria is Socket 775 and DDR2 support, that's one of the most common board types out there. I'm not sure why you're having trouble finding them. DDR2 is still more common than the new DDR3.

See here:

Newegg socket775 sorted list

The Gigabytes start as low as $79.


EDIT: Some on that list do take DDR3. Many still take DDR2. You'll have to sort by the DDR2 frequency you have to further narrow down the list. Or just skip over the DDR3 entries.

Gigabyte has a good micro (not mini) ATX combo (ddr2/ddr3) (socket 775) - G41M-Combo.  

I haven't looked, but I bet they make a full ATX board that's similar.  


Gigabyte full ATX DDR2 socket 775 board- GA-P43-ES3G (not a combo DDR2/DDR3 though)
