So I'm building a PC for my cousin and just need some help on it. What is a good Motherboard and/or it's company. Nothing too fancy because he is only 13 yrs old but does play BF2142. Also, I want him to have Dual Core on it so he does not have to upgrade for a while. I have the case, the CD drives, but just need some info on Motherboards with Dual core cpu. Info about the type of Ram it accepts is also good. Thx.
CP, do not reply because you always claim to have these really expensive components. Lol.

lol at the cp comment, well i have my ASUS mobo and it runs great, never has it crashed, and it allows dual core processors, well mine is an AMD mobo, got it for an awesome price 2, it was $95 brand new. It's the ASUS A8R-MVP. that one takes PC3200 ram, 184 pin, and it supports up to 4gb of RAM. look it up, it's pretty good.
-
Which socket Mobo do I get? I'm more into Intel, so is LGA775 good? So then the CPU has to match the socket #?(noob question)
-
The computer i built is still at school being graded or used by the teachers.... Atleast im getting back in 2 weeks lol

and that has 2 do with this because....... ..
lol, back on topic yeah u would have to get the cpu socket to match the mobo socket, which i think the latest intel socket is 775. so just get a intel core 2 duo socket 775 and bam you are set.

Actually i didnt even read the question lol
Cause i was sure someone who knows what their talking about and i just got lucky by taking the computer to compusa 5 times to figure out why stuff wasnt working.
COMPUSA FO LIFE!!!

I would prob pick the CPU you want first then match the mobo. Maybe something like this.
CPU: 89.00 its also a special with mobo for 127.00

Mobo : 105.00

Memory 110.00

The mobo has SLI there is also AGP (old tech). There are some ideas im sure others can give you some ideas. I for one like AMD so I may not be much help.

I got an Asrock Conroe-Xfire E-sata. Its vista build, has a lot of the newest stuff in it, and can support the new processors. Don't know what the price is for you Americans.

I would not get dual core unless he is gonna be running many apps in windows. Duel core blows for games.

Wait till they make games that require dualcore, whiche can't be run without dualcore. Shouldn't take that long anymore
-
Uh lol games will never require dual core lol

Well maby its not the 'can't run without dualcore', but I am almost 100% sure that there will be games that require you to have dual or quadcore in the future to play the game well.
-
That would mean that the game would be running 2 apps at once (2 EXEs), I really don't think that will happen anytime soon.

Well not anytime soon yeah. But maby they can make software that make multiple cores work on 1 .exe So that they can combine their power, maby then.

Boemann, just give up and admit you are wrong for saying that. Or stick to your guns, and if we're all still around when that comes out, tell us "you told us so!" Noob Dutchie.
