Hi,

I am looking for an Intel motherboard which can host latest i7 core processors.
But I am planning to buy the processor later. Now I have a Pentium 4 processor which fits into a LGA 775 socket. I want to retain the Pentium 4 processor for now.
In short,I am looking for a motherboard which supports Pentium 4 LGA 775 processors and latest i7 core processors.

Please can anyone help me with this?

Which model of i7 do you want to buy? Bloomfield(older i7 example- i7 920) or Sandy Bridge (newer eg- i7 2600k) ?

There is absolutely no need of going with old i7s when new SB i7s are available.
BTW OP, whats your budget.
