MOTHERBOARD
Asus P8Z68-V Pro
Hello:
I have just bought new RAM and found that I needed to upgrade my CPU in order to get the most from it's capabilities as for speed.NOTE: The RAM is not being recognized as being run DUAL CHANNEL for some reason also. I was going to forego upgrading to a newer MOBO\CPU combo as it did not seem to be relevant until I realized that I could get better performance in the following:
1.Getting a MOBO that has 133FSB capability
2.Having the CPU (K) capable of running the RAM at it's top speed (as this MOBO will not recognize it in Dual Channel).
3.Upgrading the CPU to a new Die Set as for speed and other dimensions.
My dilemma is that I do not know what MOBO and CPU to choose to get the MAX performance as or using a GPU for Multi-Monitor hookup as I want atleast 5 for multi tasking. And want to keep the Hardware I do have in a full ATX factor configuration incase I see the need to add cards.
Can someone advise me to what might be a cost effective solution to upgrade to concerning the 3 pts. mentioned above. There seems to be a problem with the RAM not being used in the capacity I thought it could be as for DUAL CHANNEL and I thought I would take this board to it's highest limit of capability, but it seems to have defective barriers I cannot overcome.
In retrospect I want to get a MOBO\CPU combo able to run at 133FSB,with a CPU (K) spec with the MOBO capable of OC'ing. This is going to be a Business unit as I have several ventures I wish to pursue in the coming 3yrs..
