socket775.

leaves more upgrade headroom. socket 939 is dead.

also dont forget memory. LGA775 = DDR2 (i think some mobo's take DDR, not sure) and S939 = DDR.

the motherboard i pick out has Two DDR slots.

May I recommend Vista 64 oem instead of MCE and the cheapest core2 you can find.

[CHEVYMAN_02]

the cheapest Core2 @ newegg is the E4300 Allendale 1.8GHz which is 155. I don't want to pay that much for a CPU.
