As per my knowledge there is no mainstream LGA775 board available with DDR1 support. LGA775 was launched to switch from DDR1 to DDR2. There were couple of intermediate motherboards based on 865 and 920 (a modified version of 915) to accept LGA775 based P4 processors, but the official availability was just couple of months. Currently there is no such product available from mainstream brands like Asus, MSI, Gigabyte, Asrock etc.
Try the local market for some Mercury or Zebronics motherboards which may satisfy your requirement. Check for 865GV5 chipset based motherboard as it has support for LGA775 based P4 and DDR1 ram

increase your budget by 2000 more and buy processor,motherboard and ram my suggestions are :
processor :amd athlon x2 250-2500
motherboard:Gigabyte GA-MA78LMT-S2-2500
Ram:2gb corsair value ram-600
total: 5600

since Pentium 4 is very old processor finding motherboard is waste of money and time, this processor is much better than P4 and provide much better performance.This is worthy upgrade.

He never said anything abt it not being better....only said that its EOL(end of life)
But..when I went to Lamington rd last there were a few x2 models I found. Check them out. Else look online

EOL doesnt affect user anyway. If he can get it which is still easy then X2 will be much faster than P4.
