sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but theres no fix/workarouund other than buying a mobo that supports 8x/8x or better PCIE.
and while youre buying a mobo, you might aswell replace that poo-poo cpu with a decent intel quadcore. everything else looks reusable.
i like in kentucky, my ATT broadband is great. never goes out, always get 23-25mbit instead of the advertised 18mbit. used to have cable, and it was always crap no matter the circumstances.
Yeah, I was afraid of that. Is there any mobo/cpu combo for 150-200 that you would recommend? I had originally bought my motherboard a while back when it was marked way down during a sale, and I went and found the most powerful fm2+ cpu there is and that's what I was stuck with. I'd like to have some powerful parts, but I just can't break the bank anytime soon.
I wish I had your connection! I live in Tennessee and AT&T has outages all the time in my area and the overall quality of the connection is terrible here
