My current desktop is a Dell 2400 :

PENTIUM 4 -2.66ghz MMT5
1024MB DDR SDRAM AT 333MHZ
ATI RADEON 9250 -256MB 128BIT PCI(NOT EXPRESS)
40GB 7200RPM ULTRA ATA DI
48X MAX CD-RW DRIVE DIM
INTERGRATED ADI 1885 AUDIO

My question is, can i up grade my motherboard to a PCI EXPRESS motherboard and still us all my other components. I have the max. on video card and memory on the current motherboard. I know i may have to upgrade other components like the power supply and cooling system. My bugget is about $500, Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks
