Hello All,
I just upgraded my PC, made the switch from AGP to PCI-Express. In doing so I made the move from an Intel Pentium 4 to an AMD Athlon 64 3200+. I also got a new ABIT AT8 32X CrossFire 3200 Express motherboard, and then a 7900GS to top it all off.
Now, I've been gaming, as that's what the PC is designed to do, and I've been noticing that my CPU is vastly bottlenecking my GPU. So, with making the move to dual-core a possibility in the very soon future, as that's what i planned on doing, hence the entry level AMD (budget in mind).
My question is I want to purchase an AMD Opteron 165 Dual Core CPU, and I'm not to sure if my motherboard will support it. Here is the motherboard and the Opteron...
