I bought a 8800 GTS but with my micro-btx mobo it won't fit. I wanna go ahead and get an atx mobo. This is my processor AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ dual-core processor 2.2 GHz 2000 MHz system bus L2 cache: 512 KB ×2. My first question is this if i buy a mobo what should I get? 2 can I use the processor in the new mobo? What other things might I need? I appreciate the help in advance.

Assuming that's a Socket 939 micro atx board there you would simply pck out a full sized 939 model board that will run the X2 model cpus(most do already). For Asus models newegg is currently limited to the three seen at http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...SubCategory=22

Your btx board is more of a server not desktop board explaining why you had problems there. The 4200+ X2 will go on these three Asus models as well as a number of other 939 models probably to be seen at other vendors. Just like most 939 boards you will be able to run DDR400 PC3200 memory. DDR266, 333, and 400 will run on the Asus model seen at http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...Tab=2&NoMapp=0

This is the memory I have will it pose a problem? 2048 MB DDR2 533 MHz (PC4200) (two 1024 MB modules)

You would have to move upto an AM2 model board to run DDR2 memory leaving the 939 models out of the loop. 939 models run 184pin DDR memory while some newer AM2 models will accept DDR or DDR2 memory. What make and model board are you currently running?

Well let's take a look at the Asus M2N-E SLI model seen at http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec....iteria=BA22972 That clearly points to DDR2533, 667, and 800 capable there. The 800mhz seen on most board simply points at the fastest supported.
