Im brand new to all the recent intel stuff but i saw this 805D chip and its exactly what i want. Super cheap, dual core, very overclockable but i have no clue what kind of good overclocking motherboards there are for intel. For AMD its easy, DFI. But i hear very little mention of motherboards here and since i dont really know what I am needing to search for, i am in dire straits looking for a kick *** overclocking motherboard for a dualcore chip that is only 143$ shipped. I mean you just cant beat that. Im a long time Intel despiser/hater but for that price and the ability to hit 4ghz is just too amazing to pass it down and plus, i want to make a jump. So any advice on motherboards would be awesome, thanks.

I am going for this board probally, BIOSTAR I945P-A7 Socket T refurb. Its not the O/Cing monster, but B/C of the low FSB, it should allow the chip to run at 200 willing the chip is. Its from newegg only 59$, but it is refurb. It is a 945 board thus should be decent. I will be ordering soon in the next few days. 200$ for a DC cpu and decent mobo, I can live that. My FS: DFI/165 is worth over 400$. I am downgrading, but not in a bad way.
I have always had good luck so far with Refurbs from newegg. Here is the link http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813138260R

Newegg.com has those motherboards listed.
If you want socket LGA775, AGP, and regular DDR RAM, then your only real option is a hybred board like the Asus P5P800. I heard a rumor they might support the Pentium D with a BIOS update. I would carefully research that option first before deciding though, since I personally don't know of anyone running a 805 on that mobo. In other words, no guarantees.

I can only find two boards that are compatible with a 805. That is the ASUS P5VD1-X, and the ASRock 775Dual-880Pro. Both are about the same price, just under $60. Anybody have any experience with either of these boards?

Yog, both of those listed motherboards use a VIA chipset. I would avoid those. Only get a motherboard with an Intel chipset. I know you are probably on a tight budget, but spend a few bucks more for a decent motherboard. It's the heart of your system, so don't skimp.

Also, as a cheaper alternative to the p5wd2-p, the p5wd2 is the same minus some extra features. OC's my 920 just as well as my p5wd2-p or p5wd2-e.
One of my folding teammates got a newegg refurb for about the price of a p5ld2 (945 chipset).

This 805 runs hot hot hot! I picked up a Zalman 9500 copper HSF and am hoping it'll drop the CPU temps to 50-55 load. Currently stable 3.30GHz with more headroom but the load temps reach 70C. I don't like anything about 60.
