Your motherboard has like zero information. All it says is socket 478. I need to know what kind of ram slots it uses, what graphics slot it uses, ect.

Looks like it would work, but that stuff is kind of out dated.

At least go with the Intel LGA775 socket, socket 478 is outdated.

it just needs to be good enough to run BF2 without being choppy.
Boys, I know it's easy to spend other people's money, but sometimes they have a budget and really DO feel like sticking to it.

For like $10 more you could get an Athlon 64 3200 Venice which is faster than a socet 478 2.4Ghz P4, and for what you're paying for that Radeon 9550 you could have my 9800 pro which has the R360 core.

you have to also consider the price of the motherboard. You see, when you upgrade something, often times there's more costs than just the difference in the price between two competing components.
