Upgrade P4 Board, can I still use my RDRam?

Here is....
Board: Intel Corporation D850GB AAA22957-306
Bus Clock: 100 megahertz
BIOS: Intel Corp. GB85010A.15A.A017.P06.0102201104 02/20/2001
and my CPU..
1.50 gigahertz Intel Pentium 4
8 kilobyte primary memory cache
256 kilobyte secondary memory cache

This is my .. dilemma I want to upgrade my processor or just get a new P4 mobo/CPU combo, I have 1024 MB of RDRam, I don't know where to look to find out if my board is even upgradeable to a faster processor and if it isn't; where can I find out if I can still use my RDRam in a new P4 board and what kind to even get??
Unfortunately, I only have the money for a new processor or new mobo/cpu combo, but not new ram too.
I hope all this made sense!
Thanks!

What speed FSB (Front-Side Bus) is the board?

RDRam? I think you mean DDR-RAM or SD-RAM.

 

It's FSB is 100mhz
The ram is RDRam as in Rambus or RIMM. When the P4's 1st came out thats the ram they came with to be used in pairs only. I havent tried DDR but I know it doesnt take SDRam

Your most likey going to need a new board with a faster FSB for a faster CPU. Never used that memory before so know nothing about it. I always recommend a board that uses DDR-RAM. With a FSB speed of 100MHz you probably wouldnt be able to support anything much higher than your running now. Hope this helps!

 

The D850GB will support a P4 up to 2.0GHz if you upddate the BIOS to rev P14 or higher (the current version is P18).

The FSB bus speed of your board is 400MHz.
