You went from one crappy motherboard to another. Do you have DDR2 RAM & a power supply with a 24-pin ATX plug? You're gonna need them for the Biostar board. A PCI-e video card would be a good idea too...the onboard Chrome9 is one of the worst IGP's available. http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en-us...

yes i got new psu and pcie x16 v-card and 4g ddr2 i know its crap but i got it cheep and its got pcie the hole point i got it so i coult upgrade to better v-card agp wasnt cutting it for me any more Mainboard : ecs/elitegroup PM800-M2 > Chipset : VIA PM880 > Processor : Intel Pentium 4 @ 3200 MHz > Physical Memory : 2048 MB (2 x 1024 DDR-SDRAM )pc3200-200MHz-ddr-400 > Video Ca

But you're still left with an outdated single core P4 & poor performing board with zero CPU upgradabilty.

ok then i cant aford to buy a new cpu and mobo was just trying to upgrade to pcie x16 when i get the cash i plan to get new mobo&cpu what do u recommend i have a thermaltake v9 mid tower case,bfg ls550 psu and a bfg gts 250 1gb card and buy the way is there anything else i need to do to make cpu&mobo switch that was the ? i asked thanks for the help Joe

hi folowing the biostar link, if the cpu is the SL7L5 part number then it should drop into the mobo no problem. id read this review about the Foxconn G31MV-K http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/arti... only two memory module slots 1 pcie x16 , 1 x pci. how about this budget mobo, plenty of upgrade room for a few $ more http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... info http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products...
