my girlfriend had a computer built for her by her friend's dad. at the time he wasn't as knowledgeable as he is now and he ended up building her a williamette machine on a budget instead of an AMD or northwood.

the board she has uses SD not even DDR. i was wondering if you guys could point me to a williamette board that uses DDR. i'm priceing an upgrade and i want to see if it's worth keeping the willy in there.
 
get a nice gigabyte PE667 cheap, stable, and uses DDR ( pc 2700 DDR 333) only reason im recomending it, is because i have 2 of the same board, and they work great! no problems what so ever. ( tho to run DDR 333 youd need a cpu with a 533 mhz FSB, but if not, you will run at DDR 266 pc 2100 )

If this is a socket 478 system, then a new DDR mobo (like Abit BE7 or BH7) will really help memory performance and allow overclocking, PLUS it'll allow an upgrade path to a new Northwood P-4 CPU later. If this is a socket 423 system, then don't waste your time.
