Dear team,

I want to upgrade my motherboard.
I have intel dual core processor. 667 mhz 1BGx2 ram (I'll upgrade it to DDR3)
Need a motherboard which supports dual core processor, SATA III ports, DDR3 RAM & intel ICH7 or higher chipset.
Also want to know, whether do I need to reinstall the OS after up-gradation? (Win8)
I am from India. please suggest.
Thanks,
Swapnil

You mean you have a Core 2 Duo CPU and a LGA775 motherboard with DDR2 slots.

You want to upgrade your motherboard only to one with DDR3 and SATA3 but with the same socket.

Don't you?

Get a cheap h81 motherbaord, a Pentium dual core cpu (like a g3220), and a 4gb DDR3 stick, (thats around $150 on usa, i really don know how are the prices there in inida) its a cheap but an excellent performing upgrade, a old 775 motherbard can be tricky to get nowadays, and its most likely not going to be cheap, also, there is no use on investing on old hardware.
