Hello all,

I currently own a P4 3.2Ghz, 2GB RAM, Nvidia FX5950Ultra, Raid 0 hard drives.

And im in need of upgrading my motherboard and maybe the CPU.

I am looking to spend no more than 120 bucks on a motherboard that supports
current CPU's, support for RAID 0, and PCI-E 16x, can anybody recommend a good
problem free stable motherboard ?
