Well... after a LOT of trouble, I finally got my new motherboard/processor combo up and running. Although, on games (WoW) it seems SLOWER than my old combo?
Old Combo:
Athalon XP OC'd to 2.2ghz.
1 gig mixed ram (old 256 + older 256 + new kinsgston DDR400)
ATI X1600 pro
7400rpm Hard Drive
New Combo
A64 Venice 3500 OC'd slightly (wouldn't take anymore) @ 2.3ghz
512 mem (kingston DDR400)
Ati X1600 pro
7400rpm Hard Drive
When loading windows, it loads a LOT faster, other than that.... NOt impressive? In fact, since I can't use the extra ram, it plays WoW WORSE (it constantly stutters during game play).
I've updated all the devices with new drivers. Did a clean install of windows XP SP2, and defragged my HD.
Am I missing something?
Oh... the old setup 3DMark05'd at 4200. New setup is at 4700.
