Need a suggestion abt Processor

[nish_higher]

i've got following stuff lying at my place-
1.Asus M2N-MX
2.Asus 7300 LE
3.Kingston DDR2 800 4 sticks of 1gb each
4.80GB Sata HDD
5.17' LG CRT
6.A ups

now i can build a new pc by just spending on a proccy + cooler.
Will this mobo support the new Phenom?
which processor should i get?

 

[harryneopotter]

yea ... it will support the phenom ...... tell ur budget for the proccessor ... and also mention ur usage pattern .....

 

[nish_higher]

i just gotta run Fl and cubase 4 with loads of plugins.most of that stuff is proccy dependent
i can spare 10k or 15k maxx.

I think its M2N MX Se thats supports it. And the older ones needed to be flashed with the SE bios.

 

[nish_higher]

well i got no intention of buying a new board.will the SE bios work?

hw abt settling for a Dual core only?they work for sure..!

 

[harryneopotter]

but in 15k ... u can have a new mobo with phenom... or intel q6600 + 630i with onboard grfx ...........

well the thing is this motherboard is not mine.i had M2n 32 sli.i gave it to my cousin and took this board.coz i already got a Q6600.i got 2 pcs at home-a vintage celeron and Q6600 + a macbook pro.i was thinking of linking 2 pcs and then share the load.

@nish_higher
u shud push those into a cabby, orelse it wud go kaput when it rains
and the rig seems too nature friendly
[no offense]

And i dun understand, whats apps u might be using that even Q6600 isn't enuf?
And whats the need of resource sharing as most apps dun bottleneck Q6600?
And even the network linkage has b/w limitation nd even it cud be bottleneck. So real boost in performance, u shud have gud network with higher bandwidth than 10/100 or 1g.

 

[nish_higher]

u like my rig
no not network link.its gonna be optical.now the apps-its the plugins and yes they are bit toooooo resource hungry.East west bosendorfer take almost 4gbr ram.waves plugins eat processor like crysis eats gfx cards
so it would be better to share the load.
i think i m settling for a X2 6000+ .i cant buy a new mobo coz i gotta return this one.

 

[hahahari]

YEah thats a good proc^ But I guess U can get more than just 6k+

 

[nish_higher]

which processor then?
