    If you get a motherboard most likely you'll need a new processor since that thing is 5 years old.
    Here are AMD boards, anything from like $50-$100 should be good, look for socket 767, or is it, I always get the 939 and that confused.Someone correct me.
    Then,Here are AMD Processors just get a processor with the same socket number. Since you're probably young, look for one then search at best buy or circuit city to see if they carry it.
    Look for a 2800+, should be good enough, goes well for me. Since I'm short on time here I couldn't do direct links sorry.

    Asus motherboards are by far the best. And then put it with an AMD processor.

    I would recommend MSI K8N neo platium or DFI LanParty the 2 best boards out and also pretty good at overclocking if you ever wanted 2 do that as far which AMD 64 CPU probably 939 socket cause they arent making parts for there 754 sockets anymore but both are really good I have an amd 64 300+ skt 754 and it is great also a site I would recommend is zipzoomfly.com great prices

    ok cool thank you for your help and yes i will get that one but where does it show how fast it runs lol i can't find it :huh:

    i think it is this right::::

    Processor

    * Supports AMD Athlon™ 64 / Athlon™ 64 FX 939-pin processor
    * 2000MHz system bus using Hyper Transport™ technology
    ^^^^^ this would be the speed of the processor right
