well exactly as it says in the title im looking to upgrade to a conroe chip sometime soon, well if i get my wage rise at the end of this month then i will be ordering straight away.
My current pc is these specs:
ASUS A8N-SLi SE
AMD 64 3700+
2GB Geil value
NVIDIA 7900GTO 512MB
afaik from reading not only will i need a new motherboard but also new memory, DDR2 is what im looking at, correct me if im wrong. So i was looking at upgrading the setup to the 6600 chip and this is currently in my basket
Intel Core 2 DUO E6600 "LGA775 Conroe" 2.40GHz (1066FSB) - £169.99 (£199.74)
Asus P5B-E Plus (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard - £74.99 (£88.11)
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC6400C5 800MHz Value DDR2 Dual Channel Kit (GX22GB6400DC) - £84.99 (£99.86)
firstly this all work ok, and secondly will i need to upgrade anything else.
my psu is a Enermax 600W Noisetaker, and ive got 2x 160gb SATA-II hard drives.
thanks
