I just didn't want to be to far behind the tech curve when getting
and building a new computer from parts.

Penryn should work with any of the current generation of chipsets. No idea
at this point whether those will work with Nehalem when it comes out next
year or not, but odds are pretty good that the ones that will do 1600FSB
will.

Read my other post in this thread, and be aware that several current MBs
will do 1600FSB.

"Will do" != "officially support," although in practice the former is
usually good enough.

Any idea if an Intel motheroard will support 1600fsb or even 1333fsb?

1600FSB from an Intel motherboard will probably have to wait for the X48 and
related boards.

1333FSB is available now: any of the G33/P35/X38 boards should
support it. Intel BOXDP35DPM and BLKDP35DPM just to pull two off NewEgg.
