My current setup is:
Windows XP
Q9300
8800GTS
P5N-E SLI
2GB CORSAIR BALLISTIX 8500+
I updated from an E6420 on the advice of a friend, it said on the website that the bios updates for the P5N-E SLI meant it could handle the new quadcores, but not the 45nm Yorkfield it would seem.
I'm selling some old parts for £150 and I don't mind spending a bit more on top of that, and I would like to get a motherboard that supports my new CPU out of the box because to install a new motherboard and find out that the bios updates aren't out etc would take too long.
The machine is primarily for gaming, and I would like something overclockable for down the line. Any help would be really appreciated
