Hi,
As the heading states, is there any mobo which supports both a 478 socket(pentium 4) and ddr2 ram ?

I'm having 2 pentium 4 machines but both have faulty mobos. I have 2gb of ddr2 ram lying around. If there is such a mobo then please advice me.

If there isn't, please recommend an alternative.
As I said, I have the following:
1) 2 x pentium 4 processors
2) 2 x 512 ddr ram (but both of diff frequencies)
3) 1 x 450W psu
4) 80gb HDD
5) One very large case(its quite old)
6) lots of lan/sound/usb cards

Yeah that's pretty much it. I was going to sell them to a scrap dealer but I thought if it could be made 'useable', I shouldn't throw it away.
I'm ready to buy even a new processor(if its cheap) along with a new mobo.
