processor with this motherboard

[clmlbx]

Hello,

I Have Via M925 Mother Board ? I Want To Know What Is The Highest Processor Compatible For This ? Just Now I Am Running P4 1.7 Ghz .
I Want To Upgrade So Which Processor Will Be Best For This ?

 

[assasin]

afaik 478-pin proccies r not available any more.so ur best bet is to try and lay ur hand on a 2nd hand p4 2.4 or 2.8GHz 478-pin proccy.

 

[clmlbx]

Ok ,

IS 2.8 GHZ IS LAST PROCESSOR ON SOCKET 478 ?

What About P4 3.0ghz And Above ?

 

[assasin]

chances r that u wont find 3.0Ghz 2nd hand proccy.theres a guy selling P4 2.$GHz in the Bazaar section.check it out.

 

[clmlbx]

2 Hand Is Not A Problem .

I Can Buy A New One Also .

So I Can Go For 3.6 Also . I Guess This Is A Last Processor In P4 Series . And Also Last For My Motherboard . Right

What About Hard-disk Can It Support 250 Gb .

Ram As Uptil 4 Gb . Ok

 

[Pathik]

yupo 250gb IDE hdds r available... but u shd rather upgrade ur whole pc..

 

[clmlbx]

YES, I want to upgrade my whole pc . but i have very limited budget .so it is better if i can use this mobo . with new processor .

and pls answer the question that is in my previous post ?

ok ,

I got something 3.4 ghz is last for socket 478 but it's FSB is 800 mhz .

AND IN MY MOBO MANUAL IT SAYS SUPPORTING FSB SPEEDS UP TO 400 MHZ .

 

[Pathik]

yup... so that ll run but ll be bottlenecked by the mobo..
btw socket 478 is toooo old... wats ur budget??
if u upgrade it then change ur mobo 1st..

 

[clmlbx]

Ok

I Have To Change The Mobo .

So Now Give Good Configuration .

Good Dual Core Processor
Mobo Supporting Even Quad Core Processors
2 Gb Ram
250 Gb Hard Disk

How Much I Willl Need To Buy This Alll?

And Give Me Which Company And Model Should I Buy ?

 

[longlife]

buy asus dual ram mobo p5VBX-MX supporting 800mhz core2due cpu. it has many benefits. runs on ddr1 and ddr2 ram, runs on P4 2.66- 3.8 both single core and dual core. Also core2duo upto 2.0 (800 mhz) supported.

 

[assasin]

@clmlbx wats ur budget?

 

[clmlbx]

my budget is as less it can be ?

arounD 15k ,

250 GB HARD-DISK IS NOT SO NECESSARY . I CAN GO UP WITH MY 40 GB .

MEANS I CAN LEAVE UPGRADING MY HARD-DISK .

BUT I WANT :-

DUAL CORE PROCESSOR

MOTHERBOARD WITH :-
1. GOOD INTEGRATED GRAPHICS FOR GAMES AND SUPPORTING VISTA ( I WILL NOT BE PURCHASING GRAPHICS CARD )
2. HIGH DEFINATION AUDIO
3. EVEN SUPPORTING QUAD CORE PROCESSORS
4. SUPPORTING 250 GB HARD-DISK AND ABOVE

AND ATLEAST 2 GB RAM

 

[assasin]

Asus P5B-VM,C2D E4400/E4300

 

[Pathik]

^^exactly

 

[clmlbx]

I Checked Motherboard Is Good Enough .

Are Graphics Good To Play All High Standard Games Like Nfs Carbon , Half Life 2, And All Other Games Without Any Hitches

Directx ???

And What About 2GB Ram ?

All This Three Will Be Under 15k

Give Me Each Individual Prices.

 

[assasin]

Asus P5B-VM = 7.2k
Proccy = 6-7.5k (depends on wat u buy)
so the result is ur left with no cash to buy ram.i'll suggest u either inc ur budget or forget bout C2D now.

 

[clmlbx]

Ok,

What Will Be The Price Of 2 Gb Ram ?

And Of Which Company

GRAPHICS ARE GOOD TO PLAY ALL LATEST GAMES ?

DIRECTX 9.0 C COMPATIBLE OR 10.0

 

[assasin]

2*1GB ddr2 667 Transcend = 2*2650

u cant xpect much from onboard gfx solutions.u can play most games but at low res.performance will degrade in games in Vista.

 

[clmlbx]

Thanks Man For All Ur Replies And Ur Help.

Thanks A Lott

Thanx Assasin AnD PathIkS

expect good gameplay only if u get a Gc.. The best option now is a 8600gt 4 10k but it has performance issues.. Better wait 4 ati dx10 cards to release..
