EliteGroup P4M900T-M2 Question

Hi there,

Im looking for a quick response from someone who knows what they are talking about.

Basically I'm upgrading my CPU from a Pentium D 820 to a Core 2 Duo E7500. However I'm not sure if the board supports this cpu.

Heres a link to the cpu support list page: http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/S [...] 69&LanID=0

What confuses me is my current cpu isn't listed on there - therefore it works fine. So my question is will this be the same for the E7500 also? Does the support list provided matter?

Any replies will be greatly appriciated

Thankyou.

Hi there,

The motherboard choice is really down to buying the PC from ebay a while back when I didn't know anything about PC's. I thought Dual Core meant it was a beast of a machine.

I see what you mean about wasting a good cpu on a bad motherboard - Would you suggest a good mobo for around the 50-60 mark? It needs to be good for games, editing, etc.

Thanks.

Edit: I currently have a 4850 and 2 gigs of DDR2.

If you notice, none of the supported processors are 45 nm. I wonder why?

Yes after I stopped and thought about it I realised its not a 45nm chipset - How stupid of me
I'd rather upgrade to a newer motherboard that has the capabilities of overclocking the new cpu FSB etc.

@ Megaman, Thanks for your suggestions, I don't go alot on the thought of messing around with the BIOS since I nearly lost my current one trying to flash it incorrectly (yes I know again - I'm a novice in these kind of things). However that does sound interesting, but as said before I'm kind of set on upgrading now anyway.

So back to my previous question, what is the best mobo I can get for around 50-60 pounds?

Thanks in advance,

Matt.
