Anyway, the problem could be fixed by buying a new motherboard that supports DDR2. But in this case, is it possible to find a new motherboard that supports an old processor? It's still rather decent, AMD Athlon XP 2700+, and uses Socket A (462), I'm just wondering if I'm getting my hopes too high.

You might as well just buy a new PC and stick your old hard drive in it if you're going to buy a new mobo, CPU, and RAM.

Well I was hoping that I can buy a new mobo without having to buy a new CPU... Really, it's silly to buy a new PC if the only bad thing about the old one is the amount of RAM. I hate how everything is interconnected in PCs, how to upgrade one thing you have to upgrade others.

Yeah, you could try and buy a new one with an old socket, I'm not sure how much luck you'll have, though.
