oic,that mean if i upgrade mobo to AM3 and proc phenom 955.
i still can use my ddr2 ram ?
then my ram will bottleneck performance ?

your old question is not clear enough
AM3 mobo run only DDR3, can accept AM3 processor only.
AM2(+) mobo run only DDR2, can accept both AM2 & AM3 processor.

thanks for your reply.
1. my motherboard is BIOSTAR P4M90-M4 and i just using it's built-in sound card.
2. yes, is LCD tv. there is no way to connect to it?

1) Its integrated audio is 6-channel capable, so no problem.
2) Not too sure, it could be possible with analog instead of digital input? You can try going through this thread.

thanks for your help and info. really appreciated.

Nobody Can Answer Me?

Take a look here.

I have a relatively stupid question.

Ever since the days of the 1st batch of P4's, I have lost touch of what slot type of processors.

I have a AMD Sempron at home and is looking to upgrade the processor but have no idea what type of slot it uses. Whats the correct way to identify it if I no longer have the mobo manual?

Simple, use CPU-Z.

Quick Question:
If a motherboard supports a DDR3 memory ram...
Which one to choose? Triple Channel Kit? Dual Channel Kit?
What are the differences?

it depends on ur proc. tri channel only i7 can support.

hey guys, could u help me out here... i was just wondering, if i install an AM3 proc on an AM2+ mobo, would there be any bottlenecking of the proc? i mean if i install the AM3 proc on a AM3 mobo and a AM2+ mobo, will there be any difference in terms of performance of the processor?

they is 0-5% diff and that's not because of the board but the rams [ddr2 vs ddr3].so,no worries

allright, thanks!

So, Triple Channel Kit rams are STRICTLY for i7 ?
cuz i am building an i5 rig

To be exact, only for LGA1366. Core i7 for LGA1156 exists, but limited to dual channel.

@Racerx, hi, u said in another forum that an E5200 at 3.2GHz is comparable to a stock E8400. For real? cos if it's real, then i might just save rm100 and get an e5200 instead of a phenom 550 (which is even slower than e8400).. thanks!

both are Core Architecture, performance should be similar if overclocked to same speed (E84 still have more cache advantage)
but nobody can gurantee the sucessful of your overclocking

hehe, i know... but i managed to get my old e5200 to 3.0GHz on stock hsf... so this time i'm getting a new mobo and a better hsf, and wanna learn to oc higher..

stupid question:
The MSI 770 45 mobo there , the VGA section is not available mean no graphic card slot?

And the direct X there also not available ,other have direct X 10.1 means intergrated graphic card?
