What kind of performance boost would i see going from a VIA k8m800 to a k8t800 pro.

cause that means buying all new stuff and i just want to be able to OC better and have up 4gb of memory, my system now is plenty enough for me. I will upgrade eventually but thats way down the road when the AM3 comes out.

Personally I don't think an AV8 3rd-eye would be the best option.
I'm had a tough time OCing my CPU to what it is now without having games crash to desktop.
BIOS also read temps too high as well.

I'm unsure of the perfomance gains over the K8M800 though.

Click to expand...

I think you were looking at your specs, im going to a K8T Neo2-f from A8V-MX, thats if i can get the first version not v2.0 which is poorly designed and lacks 4 memory slots. I would think i would see some performance increase maybe not a lot, but the link between the NB and SB is twice as fast and has 1000MHz FSB instead of my 800 fsb i have now.
