Okay, right now i have an Athlon XP 2000+, an di'm looking to upgrade it to at least a 2800+ for HL2 and maybe Doom 3. My motherboard box (MSI) says it supports up to a 2200+; does this mean that mobos have a max on the processor speed used in them?
It also seems that many boards come with only 2 DDR slots, which seems pretty limited seing that i have 2x256MB and a 512MB memory stick.
I'd like to come away with the cheapest alternative possible(of course), so if someone can lead me to a place that sells quality mobo/CPU combos i would really appreciate it.
My specs are:
Athlon XP 2000+
1gig of Ram
40gigHD+80gigHD
GeForge 4-440MX(don't laugh)
After i update my CPU and video card, i should have a pretty smoking system.
