Answer 1

do you have a link to the specs on the motherboard you have right now...i cant find it

and non of those will work cuz the first three are for amd cpus and have a different socket than intels cpus so it wont fit nor work

and can i have a link to the specs of the last intel board, i believe its a socket 775 but i have no idea

Answer 2

Yes, this one should work fine.  Foxconn (Intel) 975X7AB  

Answer 3

That's a lot of information to cover.

Your first three choices are no good. See the AMD there, that means they take AMD processors, you have Intel, and don't want to change. So number four is your only option from that list.

I searched for the FoxConn MoBo on NewEgg and couldn't find it. that doesn't mean it doesn't exist, that just means I gave up too easy.

And since NewEgg is acting up, I cant search for a MoBo that would work for you. Let me try TigerDirect...

Ok, here are the only two motherboards that TigerDirect has listed that are compatible with your Processor...

Look at them carefully, and make sure they have everything you want. From the information you have provided, they are the only two MoBo's I could find.

Honestly, upgrading your MoBo isnt going to offer your that much for in performance. And, going from a P4 capable mobo to a P4 capable mobo isnt really an upgrade at all. But thats just my opinion...

Good Luck!!
