Check my specs to see what I'm running.
I've always been an AMD fanboy but I'm not happy with
the performance I'm getting, So after a couple of posts
looking for advise on the best way to upgrade my system
I came to the conclusion that I need a new mobo.
Looking at the AMD mobos I felt that I was kind of at the
low end of the gaming curve unless I spend $200+ on a
newer proc also. So I started looking at Intel
When I looked at the upgrade path in processors I saw that
price wise I think Intel will give me a better shot for a noticible
increase in performance... But I don't know much about Intel
processors or related mobos. Bottom line: If my budget is
about $350 what Intel chip/mobo would you suggest. I'm
pretty good with overclocking and such, Just an Intel noob!
