Hey guys! This past weekend I received an Intel P4 Processor 550 (3.4GHz, 800MHz FSB, 1 MB L2 Cache) and an Intel Desktop Board D915PBL. I got these items for free from a buddy of mine, so I want to put it to use. I don't have any other parts to build this desktop, but here's what I'm thinking...let me know if you have any input/suggestions. I appreciate any comments!!

I don't need a video card or anything right now. I'm just looking to get this computer up and running, and I'll add the good stuff later. I'm not looking to spend any more money than this, but I will if I absolutely have to. Thanks!!
