I want to upgrade my computer, nothing crazy, just enough to hold me over when I build a whole new one in 6 months or so.
Here is what I have now:
ASRock k7vt6 mobo
amd sempron 2400+
6600gt
1 gig of ram
Unfortunately my mobo is socket A(462) so the best processor I can get is an Athlon XP 3200+. I have a few more options for a video card but it's still AGP. While perusing ebay I found this new motherboard and cpu for a very good. I've never heard of this brand before. Socket 754 is a bit of an unsupported cpu type but there are 64bit processors out there. It also comes with pci-express. Would my current parts carry over(ram, hard drive, etc.)? Would buy this and a new graphics card be a better investment then a new processor and agp card? The motherboard is micro ATX, is that a problem?
Any help is appreciated,
Mike
