Motherboard Socket 775 with PCI-E 2

[IPW]

Hey folks,

Anyone know where I can find a Motherboard(s) that will support both Socket 775 and PCI-E 2 ?

Thank you

The P5Q-EM DO http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_775/P5QEM_DO/#specifications uses the Q45 chipset

Chipsets -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intel_chipsets#Core_2_chipsets

The GA-P45T-ES3G http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3857#sp uses the P45 chipset

etc...

Asus had a pn5-d but I don't know if you can get it anymore.

Thanks for the links but neither actually says PCI-E Gen 2.

How does one know that ther are not gen1?

Thanks.

The 2 MOBO's I linked are according the Chipsets PCIe 2.x, Newegg lists them as PCIe 2, and if you need further confirmation contact ASUS & Gigabyte.
