I think it's time to upgrade my motherboard and cpu and $300 is what i have set my limit at.

I'm going to need MB, CPU and Memory.

Anyone care to make a recemendation on what and where to buy?

I was thinking on a ECS 848p-a V2, P4 3.0

Good, not so good, wouldnt touch that peice of junk???

ECS => junk, get ASUS or MSI instead

ASUS P4P800 for example, takes the same processor but with RAID and a lot of other goodies.

MSI site is slow/down so i can't get the specs from there

Russian planes: IL-76 (all standard length ones), Tu-154 and Il-62, Tu-134 and An-24RV&&&&AI flightplans and repaints can be found here

Gigabyte 8KNS mainboard = $75

AMD Athlon 64bit 3000 CPU = $146

1 gb of Kingston PC3200 RAM = $105

Total = $326 for a 64 bit system with a gb of ram.

Food for thought. Got the prices from pricewatch.com

Mainboard: Asus P5K-Premium, CPU=Intel E6850 @ x8x450fsb 3.6ghz, RAM: 4gb PC8500 Team Dark, Video: NV8800GT, HDD: 2x1Tb Samsung F3 RAID-0 + 1Tb F3, PSU: Antec 550 Basiq, OS: Win7x64, Display: 24" WS LCD
