I am in the process of saving up to upgrade to a Pentium 4. I won't be making the Rolls Royce of computors but neither will I be making a Chevy Chevette! In other words, I want to do well without spending a ton just because it is out there. I want to do this upgrade right. My questions are as follows:

1.What motherboard(s) do you recommend and what ones would you say I need to
avoid like the plague?

2.What Pentium 4s TRULY outperform P3s? Believe it or not the higher end P3s are in more demand than the low end P4s because they perform better.

3.Truly, what RAM is best??? I get confused here!

4.In your opinion, how long will the Nvidia GForce 4 chipset be viable before we are forced to go with AGP 8X/DX9 video cards?

Thanks ahead of time!
