    Well you would need a new cpu as well but it looks good and you would have no use for that mobo.

    That is unless you can see a Socket A one as i can not.

    I expect you might be better going for a slower P4 maybe a second hand one than going celeron.

    For the same total price you could get yourself an Xbox, mod it, and you'd have the same thing, plus a decent gaming rig for the living room too
