My friend currently has an ASROCK M266A motherboard with a p4 1.8 chip.
I was wondering if that same chip will be compatible with this motherboard ....Asus P4R800-V Deluxe.
Plus if it is compatible, would it be worth the upgrade. He just has the on-board video card and have about 256mb of ram with 32mb allocated to the video-card.
I'm thinking that if he could upgrade, he'll also need to get some more ram in order to use the 128mb video and have a decent amount of ram for other applications.
Lastly, would it just be better to get a seperate 9200 video card and keep the current motherboard.
He wants to use it to play sports game like nhl 2005, or madden etc.
