Yep, it's all compatible. For the rating, I don't know, fast maybe? If you want to know if you can play games at good settings, then yes, it's good.

sorry but thats a huge mess. i suggest using the product name and model number, then hyperlinking to newegg specs or another website.

I dont know where you got the specs for that board, but newegg states that it only does 1333/1066MHz FSB
(didnt mention the rev)

and your processor does 800 fsb

I dont see a case. oh god, this could be worse then that overheating problem thread.

The board does 800 as well as 1333 and 1066. It says it on the Gigabyte site.

The components are compatible, but we can't rate it until we know the other factors such as case, PSU and the OS it will use.

If you run XP, it should handle most games except for supreme commander, it may lag with that.

Apart from css, what are you planning to run?
