NewEgg is very finicky about CPU returns. They will also charge you a 15% restocking fee for refunds.

Ok I have been looking at new better mother boards for better CPU's than 478 which I have and I think I will just stick with a 478 intel CPU motherboard. I will have to change too many other parts and cost would increase to much if I upgrade to a mother board with a better CPU.

However I'm torn between getting the exact same mother board (478 intel pentium4) I have which uses AGP and a mother board which uses PCI Express. A PCI express motherboard would be nice though that would mean my AGP graphics card would have to be replace I also am not sure if my other components in my current computer would fit in another motherboard. j

Which components should I check to see if the new mother board has that my current one has? I really am kinda lost on this.

Why would you get PCI-E? You're already buying outdated hardware.

Well I was thinking of buying only a new motherboard and graphics card. But then are saying I should just get the same motherboard I currently have? Wouldn't be bad since I already know that everything I have fits.

What I'm saying is it's useless to buy a motherboard with an old (soon to be even older) processor technology and most likely DDR1.ram. At that point you're better off just buying a whole new setup.

Go for whatever's cheapest for now.
