My PC's been showing signs of age...It's really the CPU, RAM, and mobo that need changing (My GeForce 7800GT I can replace later on..)
What I'm looking for most in an upgrade is "lastingness." When I got my mobo 939-pin was already being phased out by AM2 I believe. My mobo also uses 184-pin for RAM..and now I believe 240-pin is the way to go. These are my ideas for the upgrade:
mobo - evga brand perhaps? (check my sig for my current specs). $100-200 price range.
RAM - 240-pin, 2GB, some kind of OCZ RAM (I know little about what a good clock speed is so help me out). $70-90 range.
CPU - I was thinking of a socket LGA775 intel Core 2 Duo. Something in the $200-300 price range..
Thanks in advance. Are LGA775 socket mobos being phased out? Is DDR3 going to dominate DDR2 any time soon? Let me know.
