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 can´t be used in a modern PC. RAM is very cheap today anyway.
If you for some reason don´t 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.
