its whatever socket the original i7 920 were, i cant remember back to when i bilt it now.
it has an adapter plate but it was all done ages ago so dont know if it will work. might buy a new one just to be sure and ebay the old one.
Anyone got any idea what graphics card i should be going for? im thinking a 670 or an ati equivalent, budget around £350 for that
For that money its this - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-095-GI
The 16GB limit for Home Premium 64 bit doesn't include the VRAM.
You can put a 2GB GTX 670 in and still use all 16GB of RAM.
so i can actually use home premium still? All im using is 16gb ram and a upto 4gb card depending on which i go with
thats the best 670 card? looks like its going to be noisy
You'll be fine whatever graphics card you get.
I have 1 PC with a 1GB graphics card and 16GB of RAM and another with three 2GB cards and 16GB of RAM.
Both using Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and both using the full 16GB of RAM.
The downside is that you can't use more RAM so as long as you're happy with the 16GB limit you're OK.
If you want the option to use more than 16GB then W7 Professional 64 bit will cost you an extra £28 (OEM at current prices).
right ill probably get that card linked above then, seems a solid card from reviews.
With the ram ill be fine with home premium, i can always get the other version later on if i upgrade though.
So guys its just this mobo i have got to wait for now!
The PC I'm on now with a 1GB graphics card:
20 + 2928 + 257 + 8385 + 4794 = 16384MB = 16GB
It all seems to be there unless I'm missing something.
