Default Re: Flux capacitors, not fluxing(where can I get n

Ok, say I did replace the whole motherboard, the proscesor is a socket a 1.2 ghz athalon with 133 fsb, pc 133 ram. Problem (at least in my head) is why bother hunting down a part that old? Correct me if im wrong but I can't seem to find any MBs that use that speed with that slot, and if I tried to put the slower proscessor in a faster board would that cause some problems(also socket a proscessors don't seem to get much faster then 1.8 ghz and fsb of like 200-400)? Perhaps I should take this opportunity to give myself a small upgrade. I've been shopping budget 754 slot MBs, and sempron proscessors, specifically this one:

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...546441&CatId=0

I can fit all of my old stuff on there, I'd just have to shell out for a new stick of ram which more or less I was planning to do anyway. I can get the board separate from the proscesser(I just might have to do that) if that's not a good one but so far between newegg and tiger I like this one. That proscessor in the bundle seems adequate to run guild wars economically and most games I could get and 754 slot goes a lot farther then a socket a if I ever had to upgrade.... The only thing is this will cost about $150 after the rebate(200+ before) total, if I cold get new caps and fix the old board myself for about $20 then I'd go that route, but if I have to replace the old MB, why not take the opportunity to do the CPU and ram as well.
