im thinking of upgrading alot of the parts on my PC, namely the motherboard. im not sure of the one I have now, but it pretty much sucks, it only has 3 pci slots, no AGP, or PCI-E, and only has 2 Memory slots which if I recall, only support up to 1GB ram..., im looking to upgrade it, to something with either AGP, or more preferably, PCI-E so I can eventually get a PCI-E Video Card, stuff, since I have a Celeron 2.8Ghz, it would be good to find one that would use a celeron, if not, ill consider buying a different processor, does anyone have any recommendations on motherboards, and if so, anyone know a store in canada, I checked futureshop, but they only had 2 different ones they displayed on their site, one $80, the other $239, to cheap, or too expensive, I wouldnt mind spending between $150 - $200 for the motherboard, but im having a hard time finding any places that sell them, I still have to check some computer stores here, since they have no websites.....

since you are in canada, it appears the only place that ships to canada is tigerdirect.

You should get a motherboard that has PCI-E and you should get rid of that celery, I mean celeron for a real processor like an Athlon 64.

Trust me, ordering from Tiger Direct without a credit card is not a good idea. It's a major hassle.
