I have a Asus P4GE-MX motherboard, but I only have a crappy 1.8ghz celeron in it, I am going to upgrade it either to an:

Intel Celeron D-335 2.80Ghz or a

Pentium 4 Northwood 2.6ghz

I'd go with the Northwood, though, frankly, if I were going to spend that much, I'd spend a little bit more money and get maybe an 805 and a new motherboard. Some 775 mobos will accept old DDR memory, so you can upgrade for about $130. Just something to think about. Otherwise, you can get slightly faster Celeron-Ds for like $30 now.

-Since half the questions here involve media problems, here ya go: Only use Verbatim or Taiyo-Yuden discs (get your TYs from Rima.com, not Supermediastore or meritline). Forget the rest, no matter what "brand" they sell under. Always burn at 4x speed regardless of the speed rating of this discs or your drive. If you have burn problems with these then you have to update your drive's firmware. For double-layer discs, only use Verbatim DVD+R DL and burn them at 2.4x speed.
