If you shop with care looking for price breaks or compare between vendors on select items you can get right into a budget build depending what type of system you want. Some micro atx models may be a consideration for keeping the total down.
There are quite a few boards out by Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, DIF naming those makes alone that will easily run a Core 2 Duo. Abit goes by Universal Abit USA when going to use the selector at newegg seeing only one Socket 775 model at Newegg.com - ABIT IP35 Pro XE LGA 775 Intel P35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
The price there went over $100. Asus sees several for less at Newegg.com - $75 - $100, LGA 775, ASUS, Intel Motherboards, Motherboards
Half of those are Open Box which you may want to aviod. Just any Socket 775 model by Asus or another make will easily run a Core 2 Duo.
