Komplett have some Motherboard, CPU, Ram bundles here
http://www.komplett.co.uk/k/kl.asp?bn=10300
those are the AMD ones, they also do Intel ones. The only point to consider is what graphics card do you have, is it AGP or PCI-E as most modern boards only support PCI-E. If you need to replace the Graphics card as well it may even be worth looking at a new machine.It's my problem, it's my problem
If I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends

The fan is still working it has now been cleaned out but the CPU gets extremely hot very quickly.
The graphics card is a 64mg GeForce 4MX 440 I don't know if this is AGP or PCI-E ???
Thanks for your help.0 -

It'll be AGP, socket a motherboards were pretty much discontinued before PCI express came out. Also you wouldn't find a geforce 4 with a PCI-E slot. I think earliest nvidia generation to be pci-e is geforce 6."She is quite the oddball. Did you notice how she didn't even get excited when she saw this original ZX-81?"

Googling for your motherboard it looks like it has an AGP Graphics slot so if you replace the motherboard and CPU you'll probably need a new Graphics card as well PCI-E is now the standard for Graphics Card slots. You can get motherboards that support AGP and PCI-e so if you got one of those you can del;ay upgrading the graphics card.It's my problem, it's my problem
