I Plan on Purchasing an X800 and a P4 3.2Ghz Processor. My question is, is my current motherboard that came with my HP system Holding me back a lot compared to if i went out and bought a new Mobo? the specs are below. i would like to purchase an Athlon 64 3400+ with a compatible mobo but that seems a little pricey compared to just upgrading my CPU
