    There isn't much $110 can do to fix you up, to a computer that can play any of the new games on the lowest settings. :(

    Best chance is to save up any school money, birthday money, and maybe one christmas present. Could make like a $400 build, or less if nessesary. There aren't (if ANY) AGP 2x/4x out there to buy (and if you did, it would just be a waste.) If you go buy a new motherboard for your current setup, it would be wasteful because that Celeron is probably on socket 748, and that socket it dead. You have enough RAM to do most things, so if nessecary, you can just take your current to your (maybe) new build. It's just not worth upgrading your current setup.

    thanks for your advice. ive got a better motherboard already, but the problem is, i dont have a working processor for it cause it broke. about how much is a decent agp, 5pci slot, 6 usb2 port mobo worth? how much would it reduce from the total cost of a comp?
