Hey guys,

As you can see from the system in my signature. I am running a pcie 2.0 video card and my mobo only supports 1.1 or whatever.

I am looking for a nice upgrade. Suggestions?

Thanks,
treepop

thats one.. Depends how much youre willing to spend. I'd suggest going either that one or one of the other EP45 series from gigabyte. Nice boards.

Or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128358 (it has an award! :O) Lol.

Thats my 2 cents. Personally unless youre in real need of it, wait out for a while til i5 =D. Then upgrade the entire system woot lol. If you're happy with yours though, then I suggest one of those boards. Just type Gigabyte EP45 into newegg and most of the other models are there too if you want a cheaper option. Goodluck

so you don't think the pciE 2.0 will be a big enough boost to matter? I play:
oblivion, Fallout 3, demigod, counterstrike source, world of warcraft

Considering that no one has made a motherboard that can utilize the full bandwidth of either, you should be fine with what you have.
Unless you just want a new motherboard.
