Depends on a few things: If the P4 is 400mhz FSB, or 533mhz. Default should be 533. the 533 runs for about 180, so if the board is more than 120, then no.

No, no no. . .. they overcharge about 80% of the time. 4PC is decent.

http://www.bestbuy.com it's 2 seperate items.

mother board:

Be VERY careful of motherboard/processor bundles. Even though you get a good processor, you can get a substandard motherboard. Check the specs, see who the brand name is. Chipset, slots, AGP, PCI, check all of these things.

Nah, that's not true either. Maybe two years. Usually a good WD drive will last 2 - 3 years before it gives you problems. Hard drives should be swapped about every year, if they are not cooled enough. Otherwise, if they ARE cooled while in use, about 1 1/2 - 2 years.

Thats the 400mhz FSB

I can get you the same board for 87.00, and the processor for 185.00

That's why I asked him, too. But it's ASUS, but it's 400mhz FSB. If he's willing to pay 300 for items that will cost him about 260, he should just go for a 533mhz FSB board & CPU
