[debugger]

hello everybody,
I have i5 rig which i use the most and i have my old cpu and ddr ram with me.
motherboard of old cpu went kaput so it is dead now.
I want to keep a separate pc for downloading and extra work.
So need help deciding motherboard.

CPU: Pentium 4 511
Socket: LGA775

i need motherboard for above cpu with DDR3 support, if it can coz i have 2Gb in spare.
Little help would be appreciated.
Thank You

p4 CPU does not support anything above 400mhz ddr ram. so no, you can't get any motherboard for that p4 to run a ddr3 ram environment.

You have your old DDR RAM. So, just for downloading even a 256MB RAM will do. And instead of spending 3k on a motherboard, better spend 1k more and get a Intel Atom combo for 4k. Its best suited for downloading as power consumption is far lower than P4.
But if you dont wanna spend that much then get a P4 supporting mobo from Zebronics and run your PC. It will cost around 1.5k only. Spending 3k for new mobo that to for a P4 is foolishness.

thank you for reply guys.
Yeah i have old 512mb DDR Memory, 160HD, iball cabi with psu..and a CRT monitor.
So was just thinking that instead of keeping it like junk why not use it. Its resale value is nothing, so why not use it..
