The 775 socket is good, I don't see any problems with it. Now if you are upgrading get a M/B the supports the SATA 2 with RAID. For this you won't be sorry. I currently run SATA 1 (150 gb) in RAID and I like the proformance. I get an output of 110/120 gb in this configuration. If you go with a SATA 2 and say PC4800 ram that system will fly. Now go one step further and get a Intel Pentium D 830 Smithfield 800MHz FSB 2 x 1MB L2 Cache LGA 775 Dual Core, EM64T Processor and you have a system to dream about. Put in two SATA 2 hard drives in RAID, add 1 or 2 gig PC4800 dual channel ram and that will be the envy system of the block.
