And should i look into better Cooling all i have now is the stock fans that came with the case whitch keeps my current CPU (AMD athlon XP 1.4Ghz) at around 30C. Thanks for any help, please ask if i was not to clear on something you need to know. i dont know much about hardware but im trying to learn.

well the mobo/cpu are fine, if you have DDR memory and an AGP graphics card already.
Just make sure you get a 90nm CPU, the 90nm puts out less heat and perform better. Reformating is not nessicary but it is recomended, if you don't want to be sure to get rid of all the mobo drivers that you have currently. Also find your XP disk, if the first boot doesn't work so well you can do a repair install of XP that will wipe most of the drivers all of your programs will stay. It's almost a reformat, works almost as well too.
