I can find you a much cheaper price.

The 845 Chipset generally, is for 400mhz FSB P4 Processors. Unless its a variant (example: 845E, 845G, etc. ..) the board will only support 400mhz FSB P4 processors. Find out if the P4 you have is a 400mhz FSB chip, or 533. Then, I'll get you a good price for a good board.

Intel makes good boards, but I'd much rather buy Asus, Gigabyte, or Soltek.
