I've been looking around at this also lately. Tom's Hardware generally
has good reviews;
http://www.tomshardware.com/2007/10/31/x38_comparison_part_1/

As I understand it, Intel is coming out with the new P45 chipset
in June, and this should make prices for some of the X38 motherboards
come down to around $150.

Sharky keeps track of CPU prices, the Intel Core Duo E6750 is
looking like a decent deal if you don't mind spending as much
as $180. In the past I've tried to stay under $100 for a CPU
but these get really good reviews.
