Hi. I found out yesterday that I was going to need a new motherboard for one of the desktops in my office (bad capacitors). I'm trying to figure out what board and probably processor I should get. Also, I need to know if I'm gonna have to get new memory. I've looked for several hours now, but there are so many choices, I'm not sure which direction to go in. Any help would be appreciated. Specs are below...

HP Pavilion a450n
3.00EGHz Pentium 4 with HT
512MB PC3200 DDR SDRAM Original (upgraded to 1GB)
2 Optical Drives (DVD+RW/CD-RW and CD-ROM)
7-in-1 media card reader, USB 2.0 and Firewire Ports
NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 Graphics card

I looked up the system on HP.com and it said that the motherboard is an ASUS P4SD-LA PES revision 0.01

Thanks for any help you can give, and if you need any more info, just ask.
