[SOLVED] New CPU

Wake[of]tehbunT · 10-31-2007, 11:17 PM

This is my CURRENT motherboard

http://www.asrockamerica.com/Products/775dual880p.htm

..................

This is what CPU i was looking at

http://ple.com.au/snapshot.php?inventory_id=27891 AUD$95

2 questions

1) is it compatible?
2) will a changeover from pentium4 3.0gig to the dual core require any issues with the XP OS on the drive? and regarding drivers?

Do you think i will run into complication, i cant really afford more than a day gap without a comp online and id like to be able to have some tips and print em out before i go get this new CPU and go offline to install it all

Thanks, i suspected so, this motherboard is a specific type of one with no forward support.

Oh well waiting was good, i almost wasted 115$ :P

Again thanks sorry for bumping my thread so early.

This is solved if you wanna mark it :) Back to saving moneys for more upgrades
