Basically, I'm sick to death of my PCI card, and want a new motherboard.

I had a look around a bit, and came across this (http://www.dabs.com/productview.aspx?Quicklinx=44QB&CategorySelectedId=11143&PageMode=1&NavigationKey=11143,40070000&v=3#infoarea)

While it has what I was looking for (PCI-E slot, huzzah), it does seem remarkably cheap. Are there any shockingly awful specs this thing has that I'm overlooking?

Thanks in advance.

Are you wanting to move your existing components to that board? If so make sure that your current processor is an LGA775 and that it is supported by the motherboard (Intel Pentium 4/ Pentium D/ Celeron D processors) and also that your current memory is supported by that motherboard. Also is your case a Micro ATX? Lastly what memory type do you currently have DDR or DDR2 and what is the speed?

You should be able to find something cheaper though from Newegg.

Besides a couple of things (like the fan), there's not really anything I want to keep.

I have a DELL Dimension 2400 with Intel Pentium 4 (shamefully). I don't think the case is Micro ATX. I think the memory type is DDR, and it runs at 2.79 GHz.

Sorry for the vague information, it's just that my Dell seems to be different from a lot of 2400s http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif
