If any of you have any suggestions for what i can do, that would be nice. I just need something to go on iTunes, browse the web, and little online games with. 1gb of memory or more. For under $120

Thanks a Ton!

Mike.

nope, none of those. the motherboard should be atleast MSI. the processor was ok though, and if you dont overclock, the stock heatsink will be perfect. get atleast 2gb of ddr2-667 ram. ddr2-800 if possible.

Nope not one of these will work with it.
You will have to go on the emachines website.

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\ yea, that too. just build a new, cheap computer, like with a budget of 450 at least. anything else would be a waste of money.

Even if the mobo was compat the OS would prob give him a BSOD on boot.

I dont have the $$ to replace the whole system. I just need a simple fix. Do you guys have any suggestions about what i can do?

How about no.
A new mobo is cheaper.
Stop being silly.
