1.Currently my budget doesn't permits me to upgrade all the components incl. RAM( runs at (one module 256)266 and (another 128)333 Mhz),Hard disks (40GB ATA/PATA) ,processor and all.
So considering not to change all the config which mobo will suit my condition(i.e low and mid end gaming)????

secondly....

if manage to extend my budget will be the best option in all the components i.e Mobo,Proc,RAM,HDD???????

Please reply soon...

Hello guys

Please help me in my query........

The mobo which u all suggested and which I found are alright but but if the RATED FSB of my proce is 400 MHz and L2 cache 512 KB(found through intel
Processor ID) and if I choose a motherboard having FSB of 533 or 800
MHz...

Then will they be compatible with the processor.. or then I have to change
my proce also..

another just for knowledge ....

If the processor FSB is higher than the mobo can support,,, then will they
be compatible..

Please reply..
