What's the most powerful CPU that Gigabyte P35 can support ??

[sarah_diamond]

My MB is Gigabyte P35 DS3L
I'm a gamer, what's the best CPU for this MB?
(my current CPU is intel core 2 duo, It's not very good for gaming, I mostly get low FPS )

Your P35 is a 775 socket which supports the Core generation of intel processors like. Here is the list of the supported CPU's from Gigabyte website:

The low fps in gaming is probably due to a weak graphics card rather than the CPU. What is exactly your CPU ( example: Core 2 Duo E7400, etc ) and what is your graphics card ( Example: nVidia GT9500 or AMD HD4670).

GPU: I have 2 graphics, AMD HD 6570 2GB memory 128bit, DDR3
and GeForce 8600 GT 512 MB

It's unusual to have both a Nvidia and AMD graphics card in your system.

What's the GeForce 8600 GT in there for?

OK, ... that makes more sense.

What game... and what monitor resolution are you using?

Okay. The E4600 is not great but can pull decent fps in games. 8600 GT is definitely a weak graphics and while the 6570 is stronger, it is not very good either.

What is your monitor resolution & the games you are playing or plan to?
