Hey,

Found this motherboard online:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...d=5&subcat=205

Due to the fact i have next to no money lol
and i want to upgrade to quad at the price drops,
Do you think i would be making a mistake buying this board?
im not too fussy about overclocking the quad.

p.s i have the money to but it now.. just waiting on some advice.
Thanx

Loki.

Well, it would be nowhere near as good as your current board. However, if you really want to go quad, I would just wait until the price drops (save up) and then sell off your current CPU and board.

It seems fine, but why dont you just save some money and get a board later on, prices of the processors arent really gonna jump up again..

save up for later. p d at 3.6 should hold you til then

good mobo=most important system component

Just went to ASUS' site and read the specs for your board. It appears that with a BIOS update it should support quad core chips.

Sorry i didnt update my sig rig xD im running my PD @ 2.8 on the OEM board it came with. Coz i burned out my E6600 + P5W. friends + beer + games dont mix :\\ bought them off a friend so i couldnt RMA, apparently he 'lost' all the paper work :|

My question is really though, do you think i'd have problems with the board?
I'm not fussy about OC'in the Q6600 quad right away. As ill proberly save up for a more expensive board in the future.

I just wanna know.. is it safe to put a quad on there?

Thanx alot for the quick replies guys

if you don't want to overclock it then that board shouldn't be too bad, but make sure you have a retail copy of windows or it won't transfer legally to the new board.
