once again building question

sshiftyp · November 1st, 2006, 03:44 PM

ok, so im still, yes still thinking of building a new pc, now this came up.. i got this xfx 7800gs extreme agp and i like it alot, but my proc and mobo and stuff are pretty old.

so i was thinking about buying a total new pc with a core duo, but now i have seen another solution, a asrock ago 775 mobo with a core duo..

how do you think that sounds?

not all models
for duo core take a conroexfire-sata2 (intel 945P chipset)
i have asking for asrocks mbos on few forums and get answare that this mbo have high performance and that dont have any issue with any of cpus and gpus and its only cost ~80$ dollars

jah jah i know, i know this combo works but is it a smart move?

i am going to take it (if i dont get more money for beter one)
you need to decide is this a smart thing to do

yeah, i think this looks pretty nice.

my specs now:

intel pentium 2.8ghz on a piece of junk mobo (some standard shit with a crap bios)
2bg ddr 400
7800gs extreme (AGP)
160gb hdd

my specs in the future will be (if i buy those things i said):

intel core 2 duo e6300 (on that asrock board, wich can btw only use core 2 duo if it has a specific version number)
2gb ddr 400
7800gs extreme
160gb hdd

nice? or not?

yes there is a problem
you will need to change your ddr1 to ddr2
p.s.this mbo beter support ddr2 533 than any other

sshiftyp · November 5th, 2006, 04:27 AM

what do you mean with you gotta change to ddr2? i have ddr1 and that asrock board only supports ddr1, and i dont wanna spend like 500 euros on a new mobo + pci card+ ddr2 and so on..

so what seems to be the problem?? i dont get it
