Assuming its s775 then this is a decent cheapo board :

Youd have to check if your current RAM is DDR2, if not youd need new RAM as well.

Check that it supports Pentium D chips though - some of the newer S775 boards don't due to their high power requirements.

This is definately the one you want: Gigabyte has the best cpu support list - ALL socket 775 cpus: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-217-GI&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1485

Heres the cpu list: http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherboard/CPUSupport_Model.aspx?ProductID=2960

Ive got one myself and its awesome, got my E6300 at 3.7GHz stock volts
