Want to upgrade my CPU (AMD X2 3800) and motherboard (ASUS A8N5X) but am undecided about whether to upgrade my RAM (GEIL 2Gb (4X512) DDR400 PC 3200) as well. I would rather not spend the money but if the memory would be hugely bottle neck the system (or just isn't compatible) then what the heck.
Thinking of:
- Gigabyte GA-EP41-UD3L Intel G41 (Socket 775) DDR2 Motherboard £56.99
- Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 LGA775 'Wolfdale' 2.93GHz (1066FSB) - Retail £93.99
- Using current RAM
- Already have 775 cooler (Akasa Blue Aurora)
Price: £150
BUT: Would the current RAM bottleneck/not be compatible?
What would you recommend for around ~£200 (or just over)?
Cheers,
Chris
