Help finding a new mombo
Hey everyone, 
I just want to say i am not computer illiterate, lol I do know my stuff about computers but not swapping mobo's for that matter. My computer is really old and i have tried to maintain it the best i could until someday i can afford a nice gaming pc. I am wondering if there's a mombo anywhere that can be used in my tower that has PCI slots but yet still uses the ram i am using, Since i do not have enough money to buy ram.
I am looking for a 'Pent 4' or a 'AMD', Whatever one will work for me.
Here are the specs for my system.
Intel Pentium 3 Processor <Yes thats old & why i want to update
Windows Xp Home Edition w/Service Pack 2
800 Mhz
512 RAM = I think its Sync Pc133
Vid Card= VisionTek RADEON 9200 Series
1st hard drive "Main One" = 18.6GB
2nd hard drive = 74.5GB
SONY DVD RW DRU-830A
HP DVD WRITER 640c
----------------------------------------
Now from looking at my Mobo, Heres what i can tell you.
Has 3 PCI slots
Aux Audio
Cd Rom Audio = Being used & has a 4 prong
AGP/AIMM slot
CPU Fan plug In = Being used & has a 3 prong
CPU FAN= DC 12v
Chassis Fan= 3 Prong
Power Supply= Combined Max Power is 120w & 200W MAX Model = PS-6201-6c3
The biggest square in the middle of my mombo that is black says=
INTEL
FW82815
L8370343
SL4DF
That is all the info i can find my self to best describe what i have for you. If there's anything else you would like to know plz just feel free to ask. The most i am able to spend for anew mombo would be around $50-70 dollars. Is that enough to get me a better mobo???? Plz remember im trying to KEEP my ram as well for the next new mombo i am able to get. "If thats possible" Also i mostly use my pc for gaming and internet use. Having the 8meg cable works really well.
Thank you 2 whoever has read all this, lol
