I currently have a pentium 4 cpu, can I upgrade to a Core 2 Duo without needing a new main board? Also my p4 is 3Ghz, do I get better performace from a lesser clock speed cpu if it's Core 2 Duo? Finally what sort of heat sink options do you think is best with this new porcessor? I'm not exactly limiting myself to a budget but at the same time I don't want to spend over the top amounts of money with this! I'm also looking to upgrade my graphic's card to support Direct X 10 but I only have a pci express slot for graphics, any recommendations? _________________ Directory Myspace Codes

Typically youll need the 965/75 chipset to run with the duo. The heatsink would depend on how much overclocking you plan on doing. Generally they run cooler than the old chips anyhow Yes, the lower clock speed will thrash your previous chip! _____________________________ If you arent part of the solution, then there is good money to be made prolonging the problem ��k� Database / DRW help Check out the Tutorials for Frontpage Databases Forum FAQ' s Developers Edition Spooky Login User Registration and Management tool Personalized Frontpage Hosting (in reply to StenB)
