I have a Aopen AX4B 533mz motherboard with a celeron 2.0 chipset. I want to upgrade to a Intel Prescott 2.4 (AE) chip, but I am unsure whether I am really going to see any change.
I use my computer for mostly video, rendering, 3d etc, no games.
I really don't have the money right now to upgrade the mobo and chipset to an intel 3.0 and mobo with 800FBS, so this is my option :
I spend $150.00 on a new chip, 2.4 Intel Prescott, or wait another year until prices maybe come down and I have a little more disposable income.
Also, since the Prescott has hyperthreading, will my Aopen mobo have the ability to utilize this?
Thanks in advance.
