Thats all that will fit in there. http://usa.asus.com/mb/socketa/a7v266-e/overview.htm What processor are you running at the moment? I dont think your going to get 3ghz and a mobo from intel... not for a 120 quid anyway. Like meia said, ram too...can you tell us what kind of ram is in the machine? Usually theres a sticker on he ram itself. Nope. Your board supports SOCKET A processors. You may know them as AMD ATHLON XP processors.

If hes running an intel mobo and processor. I seem to recall him saying something about a p3 long ago...where did the mobo come from? more of a case of the ram matching the clock of the processor. For example. PC2100 is not going to be up to the job of a XP 3200+ processor, becuse for that you need some 200mhz ram, which is 3200 iirc. we need more info!
