Me again, ok would this computer support, dual, duo, quad CPU's? http://img502.imageshack.us/my.php?image=mycpujl5.png thanks!!
So? Socket 775 can support all sorts of CPUs from celerons to 45nm Core 2 Quads, but which you can use depends specifically on what motherboard you have, and which BIOS revision.
sam is right as i have a motherboard from a customer that is a socket 775 but cannot handle a dual core or above. the board & bios was made only for single core cpu's.
that appears to be a socket 478 board because of system bus speed. Specifications link. http://www.acerpanam.com/synapse/fo...m/us&siteid=7293&words=all&keywords=&areaid=7
i might be wrong about the socket. this is the specs on your cpu. 336 90 nm 256 KB L2 2.80 GHz 533 MHz Intel® Processor Numbers link http://support.intel.com/products/processor_number/chart/celeron_d.htm Intel® Celeron® D Processor link http://support.intel.com/products/processor/celeron_D/index.htm?pn_det_celerond+more in the celeron d processor link, you'll find your 336 cpu on left side of chart that indicates socket 775. how old is the computer?
Everything I looked at pointed to 775, but the oldest version of it, only supporting Prescott and Northwood architecture chips.
Its about 2 years old, also it has 2 sata ports, anyone know if their sata 2.0? thanks... so the best it could support is P4 3.0GHz? im just not sure what Prescott and Northwood architecture chips are
hey would anyone be able to give me a link to and australian shop with the best CPU i could get, i just dont wanna stuff up and buy somethiing that wont work thanks in advance Cuz if i have a ATI sapphire hd 3850, i have to have a good CPU dont i? alltho ive seen many people play crysis on 800x600 with a mix of medium and low settings and it runs at about 20/30FPS pretty good
30fps at 800x600 medium is pretty terrible though. I'm sure an HD3850 can do more than that. If not, the AGP version must be miles worse than the PCI express variant.
That's just ridiculous. 30fps for Crysis is pretty good, that's all I play it at, if that, but 800x600 medium is a really low graphics setting to have to put up with, I'm using 2560x1600 high, which is 15 times as demanding...
im can use a max of 1440x900 i gota few more questions. Desktop>properties>settings tab My color is on 32-Bit at the moment, isnt there like 64 or 84 bit color? When i upgrade my card, will it allow me to show more? oh and also, with the psu, can i install it either way so that the big fan can face downward so its not strugling to suck in air right against the top of my tower? and do you think i should really upgradde my CPU just yet, i mean...how many FPS could i loose in a game like crisis or a game like cod4? thanks
