I've been looking at some of the threads as the 24" panels have dropped in price and now quite tempted by either an OCUK value or Dell 24" panel to replace my trusty Dell 20" widescreen for gaming purposes. Will the rest of my rig be able to 'take' this upgrade to?
C2D E6600 2.4
Asus P5W-DH
4 x 1gb Geil pc6400
8800GTS 512
I am also a bit confused about support for newer wolfdale and quad core support on my motherboard now it is getting on a bit, as far as I understand it I could put an E8500 in it if I wanted I wouldn't have access to some of the advanced overclocking options in the bios? Is there anything else to consider carrying on with an older motherboard or better to replace?
Cheers
