Click to expand... No, that board is still fine. Both processors there are socket 939, any 939 processor will work with that mboard. Nice build btw, im jealous. So 2 6800gs are cheaper than one 7800gt???

P PcMe Daemon Poster Messages 563 Nov 22, 2005 #16 Of course it's good, it's very good. But if you have the money to upgrade your processor, just keep the processor the way it is and upgrade the 6800GS to a 7800gt.
