    Good 6150 AM2 and DDR2 motherboard?

    Gotcha. Ok, maybe I won't bother with a new motherboard right now and I'll keep my eyes open for an MSI 6600GT and maybe grab that later. As far as upgrading my father is concerned, I have been thinking of grabbing an MSI Neo2 Platinum, get a new CPU for myself, give my father my CPU and get...

    Good 6150 AM2 and DDR2 motherboard?

    I have an MSI Neo2 Platinum motherboard right now with an AMD64 3000 and 1 GB of OCZ PC400 ram. I am upgrading my fathers K6 III 400 (finally) so I may just give him my platform and a spare 80 GB HDD and migrate myself over to a new platform with 1 GB of DDR2 and whatever AM2 CPU I can afford...

    The *Official* MSI K8NGM2-FID GeForce 6150 Motherboard Thread

    Hello peoples! Just checking out the 6150 world again. I am looking at upgrading my fathers PC from his K6 III 400 so I may just give him my MSI Neo2 Plat with 512-1G OCZ and an AMD64 3000 cpu. To replace that stuff that was mine, I was thinking of finding an MSI 6150 board somehow and...

    The *Official* MSI K8NGM2-FID GeForce 6150 Motherboard Thread

    Why oh why would you want only one partition? So are folks enjoying their MSI 6150 boards? I am tempted to migrate and perhaps build some PC's for my family too :)

    The *Official* MSI K8NGM2-FID GeForce 6150 Motherboard Thread

    Yeah, I haven't decided. I have no interest in overclocking. I mostly wanted to underclock, but it doesn't look doable with the MSI K8NGM2-FID since it won't undervolt. I just want a PC that has the same performance potential as the one I have now, but that can underclock/undervolt when I am...

    The *Official* MSI K8NGM2-FID GeForce 6150 Motherboard Thread

    I have an AMD64 3000+ winchester and MSI Neo2 Platinum and a Geforce2 GTS AGP card. My questions are, "if" I were to migrate to the MSI K8NGM2-FID nVidia 6150 based MB: 1) How much faster would the video card be than the Geforce2 GTS (I think a fair bit). I don't play games often; 2) Could...

    Compare these laptops with my rig. Need help choosing platform change!

    Does anybody know if I could replace the CPU in the: Gateway MX 6420 (1.8 ghz Turion64 ML-32) or Compaq R4225CA (2.2 ghz AMD64 mobile Athlon) with a Turion 2.2 ghz MT-40 (lower power Turion) Could I swap the CPU's on these laptops?

    So is the Compaq R4225CA I list above a good desktop replacement? I could always upgrade the HDD to 7200 rpm (further destroying any hope of battery life!)... but the only thing I see is that the memory is PC333 vs my PC400...although the CPU is 2.2ghz vs my 1.8 ghz. I guess that evens out for...
