Hello. I have decent knowledge with hardware and computers, but when it comes to motherboard I can only understand as much as max ram speed and what socket it is.
I am planning to buy a AMD FX-8350 which I have heard great things about, and it should definately be an affordable upgrade from AMD Phenom II x6. My current mobo is an ASUS M4A77T. The thing I am wondering is if I have to upgrade my current mobo with the new processor. I am aware that it does not support 8 cores, but I would not imagine it would severly weaken the processor. Will my old mobo be a bottleneck with my new processor?
Thanks,
Zirke.
