Thanks for the replies. I managed to get some info about my computer using Everest Benchmarking software. Couldn't understand most of it. I would be grateful if you could please tell me what would be the max RAM for this motherboard.
Also I would like to know if there is a slot for a Gaming Card. One vendor told me there isn't and that I should throw away my motherboard. I just play one game: Need For Speed (right now UG2). Could you please suggest a suitable intermediate gaming card if my PC supports it? Latest are very expensive.
