Will I see a noticeable difference upgrading? i'm going down in speed to 2.33ghz but up in cores to 4.
I run Gentoo Linux. So all software is compiled.
currently using GA-965P-S3 which I think is dieing. Or could be my processor. I had to declock it to 2.4ghz for it to be stable. factory its 3.2ghz so I need a budget motherboard as well. could very well only be the cpu too. I've had it for several years. bought the pendium D for around 300 off newegg. (if that gives you a timeframe).
as I was typing this, I did a quick search and noticed my version rev1 does not support quad core anyways so I need to upgrade the board. Im buying the Gigabyte GA-P31-ES3G. this system should last another 4-5 years hopefully.
Thanks in Advance
