Best CPU Upgrade

[James Pearce]

Hello,
Currently I have an ECS G33T-M2 MB with 4M of Ram. I would like to up grade the system. What is the best match CPU and Memory for this MB

It is a socket 775 system, the most powerful CPUs available where I live are Core 2 Duos clocked @ 3.33GHz. That makes it not at all worth it to spend money on a new CPU for a socket 775 system.
It would be better just to save up for a new motherboard, RAM and processor.

What are your full specs?

The best processor supported by your board is a Core2Quad Q9650. However your board is LGA 775 and considered to be obsolete.....no more CPUs being made for it. You can still buy the Core2Duo and Core2Quads but they are expensive compared to a more modern faster processor. I would go with a new motherboard, CPU and DDR3 RAM.

I think you can get a cheap c2q online for your system.

Actually they are expensive as crap. Like $135 buy it now for a Q6600 on ebay and $199 for a Q9550 buy it now. If you have an old one they go like hotcakes on ebay.

The best upgrade if you will find is a quad Q8200 and the most expensive is quad Q9650. But the prices of socket 775 quads are so high ,maybe is time for an serious upgrade to a new socket.
