I want to buy a new motherboard because My current MoBo was damaged.
I currently have an Intel P4 506+, LGA775, 533 Mhz FSB, 1 MB cache.

Which motherboard should I buy?
Is Gigabyte GA-G41M a good choice?
What if the motherboard has a different FSB speed?

Thanks in advance.

What is your budget?
I'm going to be honest here; That Pentium 4 is ancient and not worth investing anything into. for about $110 you can get a CPU that is 9-10X faster and much more efficient, a new motherboard and 4GB of DDR3 RAM for the new motherboard.
