I upgraded a couple months ago to a Q6600 and an Abit IX38 Quad GT mobo and I'm very happy. I had the whole struggle between quad and dual core and opted for the quad. The motheboard is one of the most stable ones I have ever had.
Unlike the two 780G mobos I've had in my HTPC, both of which have been giving me nothing but problems. --------- Brian On Sun, Oct 5, 2008 at 9:34 AM, James Boswell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > E8500 > Asus P5Q mainboard > 4GB of DDR2-800 > > That should just about cover it. > > > On 5 Oct 2008, at 14:21, Steve Tomporowski wrote: > > I am looking to upgrade the processor/motherboard on my 'oldest' >> system.
