| 358782 | 2005-05-26 23:03:00 | yes i do the same proceedure as you as for machine not running quite so well ...um....i cant really comment cause i've never run benchmarks before and after to compare since in these situations usualy the pc is pretty well knackered and maybe not running at all in the first instance which is why i'm replacing the mobo.. | drcspy (146) | ||
| 358783 | 2005-05-26 23:07:00 | Either way you are going to have certain components creating a bottleneck, Much rather have the smallish bottleneck created by the comparitivly weak cpu (Doom3 only asks for a 1.5ghz cpu) then by the video card, The performance of a 9250 is so poor that you would have wasted your money. Have you though of dropping a P4 cpu into the current setup with some ram and a video card? Yeah so thats why i want to put a 6600GT128MB card in the computer, P4 cpus are still a bit expensive and hard to find aren't they? i'm not sure the highest cpu speed it could take. I must find the board specs, make things alot easier to explain. |

| 358784 | 2005-05-26 23:15:00 | Perhaps if tradef1 was up and running you could put in a wanted to buy,chances are someone reading the forum would have such a cpu spare or be thinking of upgrading own rig. Otherwise their is always trademe... You might as well do the upgrade and keep an eye out for a suitable cpu at the right price, Everest may give more info then the motherboad manual,epecially if it can't be found. |
