CPU upgrade advice

[Chabsy]

My current set up is: 3000 venice @ 2287 socket 939, GF 7800 GTX, 2 gig corsair value ram, asus an8e motherboard.

I think the rest of my set up is ok atm it's just the processor is a bit gutless, so what will give me a decent performance increase for about £150, or should i leave things as they are and just go for a new mobo and cpu next year.

Cheers

You could get the Asrock DUAL-VSTA mobo and the E6300. Both together would be just over £150 and would be a major boost to your system. Overclocked to 2.1Ghz that CPU would be faster then any AMD cpu out there today.

Does that board support standard ddr ram cos if it dont you can add another £250 for memory and i doubt even if the ram did work the o/c would be rubbish

Can you push that venice any higher?

no i couldnt get it stable any high than that, i was a bit suprised cos at the time people were getting much better than i got 2500 was easy i thought.
