yes, check for bios updates first.
don't pay more than 30 for it tho.

I hope you are stuck with a socket 478 board and that is why you aren't getting a C2D.

socket 775 motherboards start at 44bux. Add another 200 and you have a C2D system.

You forgot the price for new RAM, new board, new video.

Agreed. I would honestly take that money and put it towards an upgrade. (or in your case Ace, an overhaul)

Remember, some older Socket T motherboards don't support the 1066 MHz FSB that Core 2 CPUs require. Actually, the Core 2 Duo E4000 sequence might work, but I doubt it.
And just for your info, Ace, it's P4XE, not EE.

well, i just picked up this.
Intel D865GLC Socket 478 Motherboard for P4 Extreme CPU
and
Pentium 4 Extreme 3.4 EE SL7CH 478 2MB HT P4 CPU
this is the last upgrade on my AGP Machine, then its onto PCI-E, i have 14 days to return the 7800GS to newegg, but if it works on this motherboard, then im good to go.
