i have alot to ask but here is one. i was looking on newegg and i saw 2 cpu one is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116198 and the other is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116200

now the 1st one is 172.00 and the other is 191.00.

i think the 172 dollar one would be better because it is cheaper than the other one, and it has 2 MB of L2 Cache

Supply and demand. The 630 is actually a better processor because it has the EM64T extensions and the extra cache.

Just use the LGA 775 in your search and you'll get a matching mobo. I'd lean towards Intel or Asus branded mobo's.

The socket 478 mobo's used either a P4 Northwood core or later on the Prescott core was introduced for that socket. Then the LGA 775 socket was introduced and it is only Prescott core. I think when you select the plain Pentium 4 you're asking for the 478 socket mobo's.

I would reccommend an Intel board with an Intel chipset, or Asus with an Intel chipset. Take a look through these.
