I'm running 2 Gigs of DDR2-RAM (3200 2x 512, and 5200 1 x 1G) on a Pentium D 820 HP on an Intel Asustek 945G motherboard. I've had no great luck with high FPS on F.E.A.R. specifically and am looking into upgrading. Also in the set-up is an overclocked HIS ATI X800XL. I'm reading that the pentium D 960 will be priced around $530 come April 23-30th, which is a great deal. My question is if this is a good processor to hold out for? I'm not going to bother saving for the Core Duo. I'm planning on waiting for the price cuts to get a **** of a deal. Will I need a new motherboard to run the Pentium D 9xx? My current motherboard is a intel Asustek 945G (won't overclock). I also would like to overclock, so the best recommended overlcockable mobo would be appreciated.
My other option was to look into the AMD X2's, but that's gonna entail new RAM ($$) and DEFINATELY a new motherboard.
