you should be ok at 1.45 or 1.5,

Just check your temperatures, make sure it doesn't get too hot.

BTW going above the recommended voltages might shorten the life span of your cpu,

CPU-Z

http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php

Look under (Mainboard/Ghrapic interface)

It will say your max supported transfer rate, If your card is faster it will work but only run at that speed.

The P5L-Mx is probably better quality and better at overclocking (might even get 3ghz).

but this might be a better board for you.

ASRock 4CoreDX90

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157114

it's only $45

Plus you could use your old ram,

It's got 2 ide channels, instead of one, (might have been a problem)

Maybe get that instead plus the E2140 and you still got about $70 dollars left,

you only need $50 more for the video card.

(But i think you might be better off in the long run with the other combo)

I'm thinking this

P5L-Mx $77
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131041

E2140 $81
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116037

1gb kingston VR $46
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820134216

Total = $204

If your PSU is powering a P4 right now I think it should handle that, Like the other guy said check to see if your case can fit a regular atx motherboard, i looked on google and it seems like a demension 3000 is just a regular old case it should be fine, the motherboard has on-board video you could use that till you could afford this.

8600GT $122

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127286R

(Or any other 8600gt with DDR3, I just picked that one cause it was the cheapest i could find)

The main reason i recomend that card is because of the low power consumption, I think all of that should work with a 250w

(I think)

You might be able to run a E2160 or E2140 and a 8600 off a 250w.

you could get a mobo+cpu with onboard video that has a AGPor PCI-E slot, and use the on board video for awhile till you can afford a video card.

Well if i had that kind of money to spend i wouldn't even think twice id be running down the street right now to get SLI.

I guess i'd do something like this,

8800GTX SLI, q6600, 4gb mem, 500GB HDD,

I might get two 2900xt's instead of 8800gtx's depending on the motherboard.
