What mobo with Dell P4 3ghz 533FSB chip?

[Romanov]

Hi,
After finding out the cost of a memeory upgrade and psu upgrade for my dell dimension 8250 Ive decided I have to rip out the dell components and build my own machine to atx standards. I would like to use the processor though so does anybody know a motherboard that would support the p4 chip?

Its a 3Ghz pentium 4 chip with 533mhz FSB for a dell dimension 8250. Im not sure what socket this is and dell wont tell me so any info ona mobo for this chip would be a great help!!

thanks

Any 865/875 chipset based mobo. (you could use almost any 845 mobo, but would be a waste when the 865 mobos' are priced the same)

I would recommend an Abit IS-7they are cheap and would allow you to overclock that processor if you want for a little extra power.

you already have DDR memory, the drives, etc.
EDIT: just noticed 8250's have RDRAM so you need to buy DDR ram (get PC3200)

So all you need is a new case (with PSU), DDR, and motherboard.

thanks alot for the reply - that was quick!!! Sorry I didnt mention the rdram should have been obvious to me to mention it.
Thanks again

Ive got the Antec p160 case and will probably go for an antec power supply thwe 430 I think.
