Hi thanks for picking my post.
Wanting to upgrade a little more, heres what I would like to do but
as would aslo want the pros (you) to tell me. lol
Ok so heres the Deal, at the moment I have this set up.
GA-EP35-DS3L Motherboard (non SLI)
Intel Duo E7220 (Non OC'd still running at 2.53)
XMS2 2GB PC-8500 DDR2 Memory Kit (Two 1GB DDR2-1066 Memory Modules)
EVGA 9600 GT SC edition gpu (can be SLI)
TX 650 Watt ATX Power Supply
WD 500GB Hardrive.
22 inch Acer screen and I also run another Because im into online gaming
and still gotta work at the same time... (eeep lol)
I wanted to get a little more juice from my pc
now that I have this setup and will most likly
move to Vista withen the next year or two.
I was thinking about getting this Motherboard
(GA-EP45C-DS3R 775 ATX Motherboard)
and getting another 9600 GT from EVGA.
OK now to the main point of this post.
Im pretty good with PC's and I built this
one but Im not too good at changing this as
aposed to startning from scratch. (sounds weird but...)
How hard is thing going to be?
Will I loose all my info?
Will I need another power suply with more juice?
I know I dont have the best ram at the moment but
it is compatible with the "possible new" motherboard.
I would prolly get some new better one down the rode
cause its a slow process.
As far as Im concerned, and PLEASE correct me if im
wrong or flame if im doing this the wronge way but...
1. boot in safe mode.
2. uninstall all motherboard drivers.
3. remove old mobo install new one.
4. install drivers.
5. install the other 9600gt
6. update possible updates cause im SLI???
not sure about that... dont know.
Reason why I dont "think" I can just get a new graphics card
that has more power for games since new ones are SO big im scared they wont
fit in the case, as I dont have a modular power supply.
and just have a antec 900 case.
What do yall think?
