    I am getting some money put into my bank in around 4 hours and I'm hoping to order a decent CPU off the Internet.

    Here is my Mobo & CPU information:

    I have a question though:

    I want to get a better CPU as currently I have an Intel Celeron 2.6Ghz installed but I've been told that I'm limited to the amount of decent processors I can get because of my motherboard. If I WAS to buy a new CPU would I be so limited in what I could buy that it just wouldn't be worth upgrading at all? Surely I can buy a decent processor which is compatible with this motherboard.

    Thanks

    I've decided now that I'm going to use the money to buy a better motherboard instead so that I can install more RAM (my current mobo can only have up to 1gb installed) and buy a decent CPU. Have you any ideas on decent motherboards which I can buy online? I live in the UK by the way, thanks.
