    @crappy74, get new RAM.
    And i5 2500/K(if you OC).
    i7 is for like enthusiast.
    Since you have a Pentium 4, you prolly wouldn't need an i7.
    Are you gonna use this for gaming?

    Get i5 2500k, and a good CPU air cooler.
    Like Noctua NH D14 or something like that.

    You can't use ddr2 ram on a ddr3 chipset. I hope that answers your question.
