Intel 915GV chipset was released on Q3 of 2004 - so how come the mobo which is based on the same chipset served you for 10 years and if you have a 10 years old mobo you don't have a LGA 775 cpu - may be it's based on socket 478 and you won't find any DDR ram supported mobo now. So you need to sell the DDR ram you have.

Anyway, if you do have a LGA 775 cpu say P4 506 get GA-G41M-Combo and you don't need to change anything else.

thank you for the suggestion and its my mistake abt the years. but anyways this is what i found on my p4 proc:-

Intel 04
pentium 4
506 SL8J8 china
2.66 GHZ/1M/533/0?A
5515B593

and im 100% sure its of LGA 775 socket.
so suggest a good mobo according to the above spec and also suggest an entry level graphic card for this spec.

and i have few more doubts to clarify.they are : when i saw the specs of both mobo's i see the FSB as 1333/1066/800 MHz FSB but i think my proc's FSB is 533MHz only so is it supported on these mobos. and i also saw that they have SATA II ports or SATA 3 Gb/s ports but i have only SATA hdds with so are they supported with these mobos?

for a entry level gfx card don't settle for anything less than a GT520 - price should be under 2.5-2.8k.

^Do you believe in using dx11 on an archaic config? It doesn't makes any sense, plus there will always be dx10. What's the need of dx11?

Getting an already isn't going to help you in future.

Moreover price 2GB DDR2 RAM is more than 4GB DDR3 RAM nowadays.

thank you so much "topgear" for ur suggestion. i have ordered the mobo and expecting to be delivered within a week. and one last query from my side. i.e; i have a friend who is having the same config as mine and now he want a mobo which supports only DDR3 so dont want a combo. he want a mobo + 4GB DDR3 + graphic card . his budget is rs.10,000. mobo preferably gigabyte...

^^^ lord havent they hoarded price of 775 boards!!! :(
I remember about a year back most G41 solutions hovering from 2-2.4k, cheapest being the msi and costliest being the asus.

(PS:The P5G41T-M-LX is the one with IDE support and the MLX3 is the one without it ? Right? )
