ASUS P4S8X-MX Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail $48.50

I got some cruddy SOYO mobo which only runs 4x on my 9800 Pro and PC2700 ram. I just want to do this final upgrade on my computer then I plan on buying a newer computer in the future though. I just want to run BF2 on medium settings and other things to run faster.

What do you think about this ram?

Corsair memory is fine....stay away from any mobo that has an SiS chipset. I would also not recommend any Creative sound card. Look at Turtle Beach. I have had tons of driver issues with creative cards.
