Heh.. there's no P3 board worth $200 anymore. For that much you could get a good Athlon XP + Mobo, and it'll vastly outperform your P3.

If you're in the US, http://www.newegg.com is your best friend.

I dun want to change my processor. I just want to change my mobo since it's broken down. My processor is Pentium 3. Please recommend any best mobo that suitable for my PC Pentium3. I am in Malaysia.
Thanks.

Probably going to need a new processor , motherboard, and RAM. That is, unless you can find a nice P3 mobo on eBay or something but that is a bit hit-and-miss. The stuff I gave you is a bit over $200, but a nice upgrade to a p3 system.

edit: O snap, Maylasia! Well in that case you may have to look on eBay. Also I assume you have a non-slot processor. In which case I find this.

edit2: on second thought I trust this one much more

You probably going to end up spending more money buying a motherboard that is compatible with the P3 CPU.

It's probably cheaper to buy a motherboard and a new P4 CPU.

If the P4 is more cheaper than what type of Mobo I should buy?
How much the new processor P4 and mobo and DDR-RAM cost?
How much the mobo P3 cost without processor and SDRAM since I have it already in my PC?

To the last question, see my edit. Also those newegg links won't be of any use to you because I'm pretty sure newegg only ships in the US.

I want better than that one. The specs is more better I mean.
If buy P4+mobo+DDR RAM512 that is better specs, cost around how much?

Malaysia...good....'cause I'm in Singapore.
Go www.hardwarezone.com to find one. It should do good. Arm yourself with a cheap Sempron, RAM and a change in power supply should do good.

EDIT: Eggs are for US....hardwarezone for Singapore and Malaysia.
