I bought a new 100GB hard drive and it wont work on my old motherboard (which I expected.) I need a new motherboard, memory, and processor. Do you guys have any recomendations?

Abit or Asus for the MoBo. nForce2 Chipset is about the best thing going.

Processor...I'd go with what's cheaper (depending on your pref) but I'd lean towards a P4 right now.

Memory...Depends on what CPU/MoBo combo you get....some names: Cruicial, Kingston, Corsair, Micron, PNY

First, however, what are you running now and what is the harddrive? The problem might be solvable without an upgrade.

You may just need to upgrade your MoBo Bios: Linkage
