Questions On Mother Board

[A BELIEVER]

I thinking of making my computer to process at 3.5 MHz it is now 2.5 mhz. To do this I have to change the mother board right?

SPECS.
OS XP HOME
RAM 1.5
2.5 MHZ
P 4
APG NOT PCI

The Cost to change boards? Just a ball park # is ok.

You would likely need to replace the Mobo, CPU and Memory all at once depending on the vintage of what you are using now.

You would have to be a lot more specific about your current setup before anyone could speculate about doing any upgrading with your current rig

If you want it to run at 3.5MHz you must be REEEEAAAL patient. :heh

Seriously, though, ballpark figure depending on the kind is probably $200 to $300.

Trying to get your P4 to run faster is an exercise in diminishing returns and futility.

The dual core revolution has passed the smoking fast single cores and left them in the dust.

. . . not only that, but memory has gotten faster and cheaper.

AGP graphics cards are beyond obsolete.


Something along this line would be more reasonable. (http://channel.tomshardware.com/2007/09/12/the_500_gaming_machine_2007_edition_channel/index.html)

Missed that entirely...

AGP graphics cards are beyond obsolete.lol no doubt. So much depends on the GPU these days compared to the CPU. Unless I was upgrading both the GPU and CPU, I wouldn't bother moving from 2.5 to a 3.x, not unless the user compiles very large programs from source code which could benefit from faster CPU alone (and maybe memory). By the time you get both a CPU and GPU (PCI-e), you will most likely need to replace most everything. Price? $70-$700

Anyway, I have no idea if the board needs to be replaced. You need to mention what the board is... (make & model of the motherboard etc.)
