Yes indeed, as I mentioned before..... AsRock do "Hybrid" boards that support either DDR or DDRII(but NOT both together!!!!!) and I know AsRock are at the lower end of the Mobo market but they do make some very sound hardware

Well the problem is I don't have the money to buy an entire new set-up. I'd love to, as I've had this rig for.. I guess pushing on two and a half years, but I'm confident my video card and cpu can handle most games I want to run right now. I will upgrade eventually, but only when I can get some cash flowing. Being a college student really sucks sometimes, but whatever. I've found MY old motherboard here, http://www.pcplanetsystems.com/abc/p...ategory_id=118, but a lot of people don't seem to know the website so I don't know if I can trust it.

Another person suggested http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131013, but I don't even know if this would work on a 939 socket board.

I really need some feedback as I'd like to order a mobo tonight. Thank you!

I have heard that your motherboard is notorious for having problems.
You may want to consider a different board but it would mean having to start over with the Windows install (clean install).

I have this board in my main rig and it's been bullet proof. I did replace the northbridge fan (noisy) more than two years ago with this:

It's still been rock solid but I also have excellent airflow through my case.

I have heard of PC Planet but I have never dealt with them. They have both good and bad reviews, but so does everyone else.
They do deal in out of production parts so you might want to be quick about ordering because it may be gone later.
Anyway, good luck!
