For once i come here without a problem! yet..
my pc has been messing me about for the past few years and ive decided that some of the stuff inside it which is about... 4-5? years old should probalby go
(including a processor that no matter what fan you strap on will never be cooler then 60C)
OK, this is what i have at the moment and what i want to keep:
CPU: AMD Athlon XP 2800+, 2250 MHz
Motherboard: PCChips M84A (motherboard chipset Sis 748)?
RAM: 3x 1 GB DDR 400 KEEP
Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 7800GS (512 MB) (Gainward) KEEP
the rest is hardrives and DVD RW and stuff which I THINK are compatable on everything?
What im wondering is if it is possible to upgrade my processor to:
http://www.ebuyer.com/product/132142
I know this would mean getting a new motherboard which im not worried about. what i am worried about is does this mean i need a new graphics card? Because i would quite like to avoid having to do that. Can anyone recomend me a motherboard or a solution?
Thanks
