i can go with a better cpu but im on a budget, also I already have 3 gigs of kingston ddr ram.|||http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Mo… This for you Stuart A. This a cool board because if has a little bit of everything. I would bump the processor up as recommended earlier. As for the memory you can only use 2 sticks at a time, one or the other if I'm not mistaken. If you are buying this board to try and use your memory and have no intention of getting DDR2 I'd say OK. If you plan to buy memory I would get a board that can take 4 sticks of DDR2 instead. Also get 2 X 160 GB SATA II drives and run RAID instead of 1 400 GB drive. A few bucks more but I think you will be happier.|||Seems a good system, be sure motherboard has features you want ie: firewire, esata, lots of USB and audio connectors that work with your speaker system, for example spdif out etc. The only other issue is, you talk of DDR Ram and for this motherboard I.m pretty sure you need DDR2 Ram. Take care.|||its seems good, i would always go with an intel motherboard but yours should be fine. i reccomend you spend 40 more $ and get the

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz / 2MB Cache / 1066MHz FSB / Dual-Core / OEM / Socket 775 / Processor

it will make a significant difference. if your building your own pc you still need cd/dvd drives and cpu fans and hard drive fans and stuff, but if your just upgrading it should be good.|||its ok, but your processor is going to be a major bottleneck with that video card.
