suggest me a mobo.........??????

plz suggest me a mobo for i3 2100......which can support ide drives .......i want to connect 1 ide hdd with it.........

AFAIK Intel DH67BL -- 5.5k and Intel DH67VR -- 4.7k, both support IDE drives.
If they dont then you probably have to look for some Asus H67 Boards.

these two boards doesnt support ide

is there any gigabyte board that supports ide

Whats your budget for the motherboard??
BTW at what price are you getting i3-2100??

im getting i3 2100 @ 5k.......and for mobo my budget is 4.5-5k....

get either Intel DH67VR or DH67BL ;-)

guys i want to connect my ide hard drive with it plz suggest me a mobo which has and ide port on it

Buddy, don't be so paranoid, you can always get an IDE to SATA converter to connect the IDE device in your SATA ports. They looks like

Price will be around 200 bucks

As you (almost) can't get motherboard with IDE port nowadays, go with any IDE to SATA converter as suggested by Cilus just before this post. I, myself is using one of my old 80GB HDD with the help of a converter without any problem.

thnx will surely go for......and are these intel mobo better than gigabyte mobo's

Intel is the most VFM H67 board.

Gigabyte and Asus H67 mobos are more pricey - starting from around ~5.5k on the other hand Intel DH67VR is only 4.1k and is more than enough for core i3 2100 and any other non K series SB cpu ;-)

You will not get any motherboard which will give you better value for money than Intel's H67 motherboards.
