Intel Motherboards which can take G5 Ram ?

Very new to the PC market and the options are overwhelming.
Have decided on a Cooler Master casing , Corsair PS, CM Cooler.

CPU will be either dual core or quad Intel, maybe a little less than the current i7's.

Is there any Intel motherboard which is compatible with the RAM i have fitted in my Dual 2.3 G5 ? Also needs to be compatible with my RME Multiface PCI card (not the newer PCIe)

Ram compatibility aside, which Intel motherboard do u recommend. 3 internal hard drives and abundant USB ports preferred.

To run mostly softsynths, Presonus Studio One and Ableton Live on Win XP for now.

Thanks
Faisal

Your old G5 RAM canīt be used in a modern PC. RAM is very cheap today anyway.
If you for some reason donīt want to buy a i7 CPU I can say the Gigabyte EP45-DS3 is a very good choice and very compatible with a lot of stuff, including running OS X.
