Best Motherboard

Is there a mobo that can use either DDR or RAMBUS memory and uses a 478 pin CPU?. I would like to install a board that would allow me to use DDR and a slower CPU and later on switch to RAMBUS and a faster CPU when prices come down or my budget permit's. What manufacturer and board would you then recommend? Thanks

Never seen a motherboard that can use both of those types of RAM before codeseven - and I doubt there is one. ALIMagik had a chipset that could use both DDR and PC133 SDRAM - but I don't think you'll find what you're looking for. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm an ASUS junkie. They make the best boards, for the money. ABIT makes excellent boards as well.
