Hi,
I have a ASUS P4C800-E Deluxe motherboard(AGP) with an Intel P4 3.4Ghz HT EE 800MHZ FSB. I also have 2GB of Corsair PC3200XL XMS DDR RAM. I want to upgrade my video card, but to do that I need a PCI-Express motherboard(SLI is possible).

Is there any way to get a new motherboard while still keeping the same CPU and RAM? I haven't been able to find a mb with a 800MHZ FSB, PC300 DDR dual channel ram and PCI-Express x16. Any suggestions?


Thanks.

Eric

I have an Asus P5GDC-Deluxe with the 915 chipset that supports both DDR and DDR2. It has pci-express, 800Mhz FSB, and SATA. It also supports hyperthreading and EMT64. Not sure where you can still buy one though, but it is possible.
