If you have a socket A motherboard I'd just look on Ebay for a
replacement that closely matches what you already have with respect to
memory modules and speed. The slot A motherboards are a lot harder to
come by but still out there to be had if you have the patience to find
them. That would be the cheapest route.

I am looking for some advice on what to replace my motherboard with.  I don't want to spend a lot of money.  Should I stay with some type of Athlon system or go to a intel P-4 system?  What are my compatibility limitations?  I am running Windows XP, and the current system has a 40 gig hard drive and about 850 MB of 133mhz ram.
