and in a few weeks buying an e2180 cpu and an 8800gs. a few questions, will my proc now work with this mobo? anyone have this mobo? what is it like? what kind of frames per second could expect on games lik tf2 and wow with this setup? Right now i have the celeron 352, 8500gt 512mb, 1gb pc3200, and the stock emachines mobo. with my current setup i (this is not gonna be believeable i know) can max out grid with 16x aa and at 10x7. (i know u dont believe me, LOL).

what kind of improvement will i see? thanks and any help is welcome.
 
The newegg specs for that mobo list Celeron as supported, so it should work. At worst, if it doesn't work, you can just use the old MB until you can afford a new CPU.

The specs say DDR2-667. Some reviewers are using DDR2-800. I think that DDR2-800 will work, but it's not guaranteed.
