I need a pentium motherboard and processor?
I will be using my DDR400 2x1GB memory and want a processor that runs at DDDR400 to acompany the Mobo. I need at least 2 PCI slots, but more would be a bonus as im always upgrading. I definately need an AGP slot and lets ust say money is no object. If possible something with HDTV capabilities.

Not sure if this is enough info, oh, and I will be building this myself. I have previously build athlon mobos and want to try an intel board for a welcome change.

Why Pentium? You'd be much better off getting a Intel Core 2 Duo setup as even an E6300 will blow away any Pentium. If your budget won't allow for that, even a cheaper 939 (if you have to reuse your ram) A64 setup would be better than any new P4 build IMO.

Is it easy to clip the processor on to the motherboard? Is there a special way to do it as ive only seen athlon and pentium mobos.

Agreed. Go for a s939 system to reuse your RAM. But, you say money is no object, so C2D for sure. GL :)
