I'm thinking of buying a new motherboard in order to be able to buy a PCI-E card since my current motherboard is two years old and only supports AGP.
I have a P4 3.0Gz Prescot CPU w/HT, wich according to what ive heard is still pretty good since Dual-Core CPUs only perform 30-40% better then single core CPUs and even less in games, where it really matters to me.
I've also heard that in order to get a motherboard with PCI-E i would i need a new socket 775 CPU.
So is there any chance i can buy a socket 775 motherboard with PCI-E and apply my socket 478 CPU to it, or is it each socket to its own?
Thnx
