Since you already have 3 DDR2 module, the mobo should have 4 DDR2 slots.

My suggestion is Gigabyte GA-EP41-UD3L @ 4.9K. It is available at anythinginit.com. It comes with 4 Ram slot with 8 GB of max ram support, one X16, three X1 and three PCI slots.

get MSI P43T-C51 @ ~4.3k - it has 4 DDR2 slots but OP needs to confirm the availability though ;-)

^^ but there's no harm in trying and that's why I told OP to confirm the availability first or else he can seek in local shops for some P45 mobos ( for OCing Q93000 and it's the best alternative of P35 chipset ) with DDR2 slots.

Last month saw a guy buying a Intel Original G45 mobo @ 4.5k in a local shop so mobos with 4 DDR2 slots for those old platform still might be available or else Op will have to opt for the mobo you have suggested which is also a good one.

Another thing Op can do is he can sell his current DDR2 ram modules and opt for Gigabyte G41M-T S2P mobo at @ ~2.4k and 2x 2GB DDR3 ram modules at @ 1.6k ;-)
