    Ok, this is what I can see happening. That RAM is probably RDRAM I presume? Let's see what I can scratch up:

    P4 1.8A Retail $167
    ABIT TH7II INTEL 850 Motherboard $116
    GF4 Ti4200 $166

    $450USD. You could reuse the other 256MB of RDRAM and voila you practically have a new system.

    first...intel stopped making the 1.6...so it would be hard to find one..although if u can get one...that would be best..

    and if u get amd...you won't be able to o/c far unless u get a very good (and loud) hsf and u unlock.

    They're easy to find yourself... the only one that seems to be working is the AMD chip link:
