damn.... any good proccesor with the 945 chipset??

hey actually i just checked the desktop board box. the backside had the full description along wit the picture. my board IS LGA 775!!
its written " for Intel core 2 duo, dual core, pentium , celeron ..." etc range of proccy's!!
so i might go with the e5700 for 5k.
what say??

local shops may be .. 945/965 mobos needs a bios update to support 45nm cpus.

Anyway, Not sure if this will work for you or not but found these links :

Instead of getting E5700 for 5k, getting Pentium Dual for 3.2k with a H61 board for 2.6k makes more sense. So, for 5.8k you get a much better processor. Just add a 4GB DDR3 RAM for 1.2k and nothing more. Sell of your current motherboard and RAM, say for 1.7k-2k.

^^ Good low cost combo.
But I'm not sure about the fps part as I've not used G630 by myself.
