so the processor is separate from the mainboard rite?? or its in the mainboard?
-
yea...the processor will be attached to the mainboard for processing...Originally posted by snop_coolz:so the processor is separate from the mainboard rite?? or its in the mainboard? -
both mobo and processor are equally impt. if u change your processer, you may need to change your mobo cos maybe your mobo cannot support(in terms of specification) the processor or vice versa

so if i change motherboard need to change processor also?? if i wan buy a better mobo lets say a 2.6ghz 1 but p4 so need to buy a processor and mobo..or mobo only?

Most of the time, when you buy a new motherboard, you will buy a new processor, because a motherboard only supports a particular type of processor slot.Originally posted by snop_coolz:so if i change motherboard need to change processor also?? if i wan buy a better mobo lets say a 2.6ghz 1 but p4 so need to buy a processor and mobo..or mobo only?
You can't put a socket AM2 processor into a motherboard that supports socket 754 and vice versa.
Here is something to read.
When you buy a new processor, ask the salesperson what socket it uses and get a motherboard that supports it. You can always go online and do some research.
Here's a step by step process of how to do it.
Let's say you want to buy an AMD Sempron processor.
Step 1: Go to AMD's website and find AMD Sempron processor. Look at its key architecture. AMD Sempron. From the website, there are 2 different sockets used for AMD Sempron processor. One is AM2, the other is 754. Now that you have this info, go Google it or go straight to motherboards.org
Step 2: Go to motherboards.org and search for the motherboards that support it. Here's the results
If you are looking for Intel processors, visit this website instead. Here's my results after searching for Intel Core 2 Duo processor. -

CPU-Z is able to if I remember correctly.Originally posted by snop_coolz:eh...is there anyway to check the type of motherboard our computer is??
Otherwise, Google for Sandra. -
If you just buy a bundled package... it probably won't exceed $400, provided you don't change a lot of things. Just get a piece of 1GB RAM, the bundled motherboard package will not hit $400...Originally posted by snop_coolz:i using sd ram btw...

How come won't hit 400 ?
If he change to Duo core only then i can guess with the MSI mb
IF he going core 2 duo ? -
ermm..i m goin to change the motherboard and processor..then i need new ram..so i was hoping if i can change these 3 without hitting 400(best) or overshot 500...anyway..any1 noe where i can check the price of these bundles?
Ps..so i wont get ripped off
edit: oh i was thinking of just getting a P4..not a duo core
