I built my own computer about 3-4 years ago. I used a Biostar M7VKG motherboard with an AMD Duron 1Ghz processor. This combination has worked flawlessly for me. I recently upgraded from Windows 98 to Windows XP. Performance is still pretty decent, but I can definately justify upgrading the hardware now. I would like to stick with biostar, and to that end, I selected this motherboard:

BIOSTAR TForce6100 Socket 754 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

It has the main features I am looking for, namely:

  • AMD compatible
  • Biostar brand
  • onboard lan
  • onboard video (not a gamer)
  • onboard audio
  • bunch o' usb ports


On newegg, I found a cpu to with it:

AMD Sempron 64 3000+ Palermo 800MHz FSB Socket 754 Processor


I am assuming I will need to get new memory (DDR), as I now have SDRAM in my computer, and I am sure this MB doesn't support that.

Is there anything else I need to worry about when upgrading? Is there anything obviously wrong with these choices?
