I am in the middle of slowly upgrading my computer of two years. The full specs are listed in my sig. I was thinking of starting off with the CPU but I'm not sure what the highest compatible CPU is for my motherboard as Biostar's website does not show for my particular model. Does anyone know?
I know it's not anything higher than a 6000, but I've had my eye on the 6000 or 6400. My current CPU is a 4200+ at stock 2.2GHz. Could someone recommend a good and rather cheap SLI motherboard (only reason SLI because of my current 7800GTs) that could easily upgraded on later on such as with a new video card, ram, or whatever. I've had my eye on the 8800GT but I would have nowhere to put my 7800GTs so I think I'll be hanging on to those for now.
edit: Found out max is 4800+ Biostar USA so I definitely would like to upgrade the motherboard.
edit2: I picked out some parts on Newegg that I've had my eye on. Let me know what you guys think.
