Motherboard?
 

Gonna ugrade me machine shortly,a AMD 111 CPU and DDR111 memory,this is the motherboard I have at the mo,lost the wee booklet I got with it but it says AMD 111 ready on the box it came in but dont mention DDR 111 though,do you reckon I need a new MB as well?
more expense,:{

Sorry this is a lnk to the MB

MB looks about 3 years old to me (I don't study them closely though). If you're putting in new CPU and memory get a new MB to match IMO. A new power supply wouldn't hurt either, and might be needed by new MB because of connection changes. Cheap PSs don't last long anyway.

BTW using a separate video card instead of on-MB makes upgrading other bits a lot easier, and cheaper.

If you're doing this hardware upgrade yourself wear an anti-static strap! (Apologies if I'm preaching to the choir.)


'b

Been building me own puters since the days of the 486 built and upgraded dozens of them, only ever had one PS go bang on me,got a 1 gig Geforce 9400GT pci E Graphic card in this machine recon that will do on the new MB
Used to surf all the hardware techy sites one time but haven't for a couple of years so I is out of the loop as they say.
Thank for the help.:ok:

well it all depends
 

Are you just changing the mobo or changing the cpu as well ? Overclockers forums are pretty good for advice. Just upgraded mine with an AMD Phenom II thing and a micro-atx mobo (about £70 each). Power supplies have changed though (connectors) but mine still works even with an old psu with not quite upto date connector.
