system specs

mobo: asus m2n32-Sli Deluxe (not the vista version)

OS. Windows Vista x86

Video Card: MSI Radeon HD 4850

Memory: 4 gb ddr2 800 (ocz)

CPU: 64 x2 6400+ windsor (3.2 ghz stock) 125 watt

Hard Drive:

75 gb 10,000 rpm OS drive
150 gb x 2 10,0000 rpm


For some reason this mobo is having a good amount of trouble with vista, and thinks that my hard drives are external...


i use this computer only for gaming, and am considering upgrading to a more recent motherboard .

Would it be worth spending around $100 or so to get a newer motherboard?

(I have also been getting the bsod occasionally as well)

Thanks in advance

IMO AMD Sucks and you could just overclock it.

AMD is a dying company, they can't keep up with Intel.

most people who overclocked the E7400 only got theirs to around 3.2 ghz..

so i would spend $200 and be exactly where i am now, excluding brand names.
