Hi guys,
In a quandry and could do with some advice please.
My Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard recently died on me (primary PCI-E graphics socket not working, PCI slot not working, SATA channel not working) suddenly.
So I am in the market for a cheap replacement motherboard. Currently considering Asrock N68C-S
Is this motherboard OK? I know it will not quite be as fancy as the Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe but I'm on a budget.
I have not kept up to date with recent years of PC hardware.. my current system has an AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400+, 2GB (2 x 1GB) of Corsair XMS2-6400 DDR2 RAM, Soundblaster X-Fi, Palit Geforce GF9500GT 1GB Graphics Card etc..
May upgrade CPU and RAM, any suggestions? Could do with some more RAM.. and a better CPU would be great.. I have read about CPUs that now come with multiple cores, some disabled and this Asrock board can enable the disabled cores?
It is all a bit confusing
Thank you in advance,
G_J.
