Hi Everyone,
I recently replaced my 1090T with a 2600k (main machine). I have a 2nd machine which currently runs an AMD 640. When I upgraded my main machine, I put the 1090 in the 2nd machine, but it was incompatible (msg on screen said it was incompatible). Come to find out that the board I have in there is a 95w board & 1090 is a 125w chip, so I put the 640 back in.
What the 2nd machine is used for. Surfing the web, playing Facebook games, media server & backup of data from 2 other computers. This machine runs Win 7 64 pro with 8 Gig DDR3 1333mhz
My question: Would the 1090 help with the items above compared to just leaving it as is?
I know the question will be, why don't I place the board I was using with the 1090 in the 2nd machine. I could do that, put the board has an issue when memory is ran in dual channel mode (when i used memtest, each stick separately tested fine, but when tested 2 together, it would give errors)
Thanks
