downloded clockgen. Not sure what its about. has 5 gauges and i cannot move or change anything
I was trying to avoid upgrading my hardware. But I seem to be running out of options to get better performance. Don't go far Abstract....you will be needed again lol
Also since I am keeping my hard drive I have now I won't need to worry about my OS or my files on there, right?
I recommend this over either of those two.
Newegg.com - ASRock N68C-S UCC AM3/AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 7025 / nForce 630a Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
Not only does it support 6-core Phenom chips, and UCC (marketed as able to unlock cpu cores), but it also has DDR2 AND DDR3 memory slots. Which would help future-proof things a bit.
If he pairs this with a cheap Athlon II x2 240 for $50ish, he'll only be drawing around 65w at load, and that will leave plenty of room for a decent video card even with a cheap power supply.
EDIT: Also, it just hit Newegg like a day or two ago. It's brand new.
If it is OEM a restore disk won't help.
