Yo, I was home to my family reunion and my cuz hooked me up with a p4 3.2 HT socket 775 processor to replace my celeron 3.0 socket 478. So I decided to buy a new mobo, I got it on ebay its on the way.. http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330326324369&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ebayphotohosting

I also have bought a CPU Heatsink for the 775 chips and its here http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250447311869&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ebayphotohosting

So as of now my system is 4x agp, celeron 3.0 256kb cache, 1gb ram, audigy plat, nvidia 7800gs 8xagp... basically i just want opinions on if this was a wise move for only 90$ to upgrade... I get my agp x8 for my card now, and I get my HT p4 what do you think?

yes and no. the processor will help a bit and if you can get a mobo with 8x thats good.

my suggestion- dont use ebay. check some local deals. you can get a stock intel heatsink for $5. hell i have a bunch im sure others here too will have some.. ill give it to you free (~$5 shipping). Check for local mobo too. i sold my P4P-800 like 2 years ago for $40 or something. you can probably find something similar on used ads for like $20.

I cant find anything thats 8x AGP around here... and I thought for some reason that processor would fit my board but I was highly in doubt lol. As for fan and stuff it was only 10 bux or whatever no big deal. I thought it was a pretty good price for the mobo for what I have now and my mobo is from like 2004.
