What the heck? - new tech' spec check

[negger]

After my shuttle's motherboard died, i'm left with the following components....

amd a64 x2 4800 socket 939
agp x 1950 pro 512mg
74gb raptor
1 gb geil ddr400 ram
creative xi-fi gamer

i'm thinking of selling the cpu and shuttle (for spares), and purchasing the following.....

Antec NSK4400 Mini Tower Case - 380W SmartPower PSU £46.99
Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) -Retail £119.84
Asrock 4CoreDual-VSTA (Socket 775) PCI-Express/AGP DDR2 Motherboard £46.99
Shipping : £9.95
Total : £225.51

Can this be improved on or would you try to sell more of the original components?

cheers.

Thanks for the quick reply...
I've just checked the spec on the asrock and it supports ddr or ddr2, is there a big performance difference between the memory types?

The other reason i picked the asrock is for the agp - with the option of pci-e later if i upgrade my graphics card.

cheers

Thanks for the spec...
If i manage to overclock the e4300 to 2.7 how would this compare to the x2 4800? ( i've read a lot of good reports on the core2duo but never seen one in action ).

One other thing - will the retail fan be good enough for the overclock you've suggested?

thanks again.
