Best Mobo + Processor offer

[msam137]

Hello I am looking to update my Computer Currently running
A8N Sli Deluxe Mother Board
AMD 3700+ processor socket 939

Looking to move over to the Intels Core 2 Duo for better performance.
I would like it to have
atleast 4 internal sata ports
Onboard raid controller
Internal Firewire port external a big bonus
2x PCI 16
1 x PCI
USB Headers

Looking for the best combo for 200 dollars or a worth while processor update for 100 dollars socket 939.

You build your previously computer by yourself? Heck, just sell all previous parts, DDR1 memory, the mobo, the processor,

If near a frys, pick up a combo.

some lame tax(1.075)
----------------------------
$202.1 yields a 7400 and 4gb ram + mobo.

I didn't look at the mobo, but thats just an idea.

Reuse:
Hard Drive
Case
Power Supply
CD/DVD drive

Yes I built it myself I have plans on reusing everything, I read more about your MB I am looking for more power from that although the cpu you suggested was good.
MB missing usb headers
Memory 2 slots limited I know XP can only do 4gb but with windows 7 around the corner who knows
no PCI 1 x slots
only one PCI 16x slots

but thanks for trying appreciate it.

I am thinking 200 might not be enough.

I just ordered mine and upgraded the same thing. I had asus A8V deluxe with 3400 939.
I went with the intel duo E8400 and Arctic Freezer 7 from Ewiz

and the gigabyte mobo

a little over $200, that was my original limit also but should last long and run fast.
