hi folks! apologies for bringing up old stuff; can't find a ref. to my question...
i have just dug out my old pc as follows:
ga-570sli-s4 rev. 2
athlon64 windsor 5600 (2.
2x1gig corsair 3200
9800 gt 512
i noticed on the box that it can take am2+ (and according to gigabyte cpu support am3) cpus.
which means i can update the bios to FHL and fit a phenom 2 955/c3 95w deneb - 45nm @ 3200mhz
however, the restriciton of the 2000 ht applies.
i should like to give the system a bit more umph!
given the ht restricton, would this have an overall advantage for upgrading the graphics card, say 260gtx or 285gtx
which would be pointless with the current setup?
obliged for any advice
