I currently have a 3Ghz P4 478 socket in my system, and i recently installed 1gb of crucial DDR400 PC3200 (x2 512 dualed). The problem i have is that i want a PCI-Express mobo but there are very few available for the 478 socket, should i be thinking about a mobo + cpu upgrade? if so can anyone suggest a mobo + cpu, would spend around £200, also is the ram i have likely to be usable on a new mobo as i dont fancy splashing out on new ram as well
when i only bought the crucial ram 2 months ago.

any thoughts or ideas would be appriciated :D

Thanks
 
Thanks for the advice guys,

I currently have an 6600 agp, but a friend has given me his 6600 GT PCI-E, so the plan is after a cpu + mobo upgrade use the 6600 GT for 3/4 months untill i can afford another £200 - £250 for an new PCI-E card.
 
another thought, would it be worth me buying one of the few 478 socket PCI-E boards that are available and keeping my 3Ghz P4 as it does seem to perform quite well, would there be a big difference in performance if i did decide to uprade the cpu + mobo to what you have suggested?

Thanks again for your help on this :D
