Need A New Mobo

neilzomg · 4 Oct 2009 at 13:06

birthday on 11th november, leaving £15 a week in my bank for a new mobo so i can get a good mobo by next month. have an AMD phenom 8450 AM2 socket, and 240pin ram. looking to overclock it to get more fps in games, the processor is bottlenecking my 9600gso.

any suggestions on mobos. looking for a good mobo price dosent matter, and if it's ddr3 will the ddr2 work in the slot?

thanks.

I'd suggest this mobo.

It may be small and more expensive, but its brand new - so full warranty. Also, it is DDR2 but also AM3, so future upgradability is good.

not really that expensive, but i think il get it seeing your rep. gona have to buy some ddr3 for it tho but shud all be ok. not too expensive i hope :/
