Question about changing a motherboard

coolz · August 27th, 2007, 06:22 PM

ok i have a Syntax 2.4ghz motherboard and it runs really well , but i want to upgrade to a dou/core processor...
The big problem is that all my hardware is PCI and AGP...

My question is -- Is there a motherboard / dou-processor combination that will work for me?

Also, you could also go with AMD too instead of intel

Intel: - ASUS P5VD1-X

-ASUS P5VDC-X (DDR + DDR2 but only 2 slot each)

-ASUS P5V800-MX

-ASUS P5VDC-MX (DDR + DDR2 2-slot)

-ASUS P5P800 SE

Thanks for the answers...

Somebody told me i need a Asus mobo with a Amd 4600 processor,, but he said it would cost about 400 dollars.. lol
He said that would be the best for extreme gaming, but i dont know...

I just dont wanna have to turn my graphics down just to play a 3d game or play with poser..

I wanna be able push the boundaries of any 3d program or game i can get and never look back,, you know what i mean?

What AMD socket? IF its AM2 its impossible to keep AGP, 939 will do but good luck finding them. For the motherboard you have the ASUS A8V, many models are available.
