Hey guys, I'm going to be upgrading my computer hopefully soon, but I can't spend an enormous amount of money.
Fortunately, there's a huge deal going on with the Intel Core i7 920, and the benchmarks are VERY impressing.
Question:
If I purchased this quad core processor, would the techs be able to install it with my current motherboard?
Purchasing: Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor
Newegg.com - Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops
Motherboard I own: Asus Striker Extreme Motherboard
GPU: 8800GTX
*note* it says on the front of the box "supports 45nm cpu"(whatever that means)
thanks guys!
