| 422962 | 2006-01-20 21:56:00 | Hello, I am still using an Epox 8RDA+ motherboard with an outdated Athlon cpu. I would like to upgrade the AMD cpu and continue using this motherboard. When it comes to hardware compatibility, I am pretty lost. Can someone recommend the 'best bang for the buck' cpu that is compatible with the mobo? Reason for CPU upgrade: would like to play modern games like Half-Life 2, Quake 2004, and CS:S and get faster rendering time for video editing/post production I appreciate your time! 8) |

No point throwing good money at a processor that will barely cut the mustard now in high end gaming little own the future. You would be best off biting the bullet, saving up your penny's and buying a AMD 64 and new motherboard (capable of dual core for later). But then you may have to look at video card socket ETC, I am assuming you don't have PCIE. Even consider hocking off your system as a going concern and buying a new one (often cheaper than a large upgrade). |
