planning to update my pc

[HFC]

i would like to know what do u think of this motherboard,what should i check before chooseing one,the motherboard is no the most important thing for me,i prefer spending more money on a good video card or a good dual core,but i would like to know if this motherboad i was thinking on buying for my new computer is a good one:

http://www.tranza.com/softis/pv/2107/ASROCK-WOLFDALE-1333/

I choose that one mainly for 3 things: it has 6 usb on the back instead of 4 like some has,it can have a limit of 4gb RAM instead of 2gb as many other motherboards has of limit,and the other reason is the price,as i said i dont wanna spend a lot of money on the motherboard as i think its not very important,correct me if i am wrong.

The other thing i would like to know is about th refrigeration of the pc,i will put a videocard 8600 gts and a 2.0ghz dual core,should i put any kind of refrigeration inside the "tower",everything i know about the "tower" is that it has a 500watts fan,thats it.

Well i would appreciete some help on this to be sure i am spending my money correctly on this.Thanks

Link doesn't work.... however from URL I see it's ASROCK. Never used their stuff, so wait for someone else to chime in, research it, or go at your own risk. As for RAM, almost any Mobo now a days has 4 DDR DIMM slots... so the 4GB vs. 2GB isn't an issue, besides, if you're using Windows XP 32bit, that 4GB of ram would be useless.

As for cooling of the case, yes you need fans. Go get a couple of 120mm Fans, will cost you around $15-20 USD.

thanks for the info,i would also like to know what do u think about the videocard i will get its a foxconn 8600 gts 256mb ( http://www.tranza.com/softis/pv/2185/FOXCONN-PCX8600GTS-256MB/) will i be able to play COD4 with that video card?is it a good videocard?.Thanks.

Asrock is the budget line from Asus or another "A" mobo manufacturer. I had one that was decent a couple years ago.

That video card should run COD4 w/o problems, never used the 8600--- line of cards, but I know plenty of people do with good results.

I have an 8600GTS and runs great. Of course, the rest of my system is decent also. I normally run 20-21" widescreen with very little slowdown.
