Problem:
======
I have an Intel Westchester Motherboard (3 yrs warranty) with 2x 512MB DDR2-800 to increase by 2x 1GB DDR2-800 and would like to upgrade the current E4400 CPU to E6700 - but these (FSB 1066MHz) are no longer available (only the FSB 1333MHz) !!
- Why pay more for a motherboard to get into such a dilema.
- Next time I will buy a cheaper (non Intel) motherboard and upgrade it together with the CPU !
What can you say. Technology has marched on. The Westchester board was good in its day but now if you want a Intel board you will need to get a G33 chipset version to that supports the latest and greatest processors from Intel. I would recommend either the DG33FB or DG33BU board as a replacement for your Westchester board. You can still buy a E6700 but it will cost more than the 1333 FSB based equivalent.
Obviously Intel wants to sell the newer processors.
