yes you will. a left out piece though is what video card are you using? cause you might still be limited by the gpu now instead of the cpu.

The motherboard he mentioned is a s754 one so i'm assuming he's getting a s754 3000+ venice? Zaai, you might want to think about going s939 at least and if that already was your intention then you should look into a different motherboard. If you want to keep your current gpu (although an upgrade there would be very beneficial as well) then you'd need an nf3 board or maybe the asrock 939dual-sata2. And then if you were going to upgrade your gpu, id definitely go with what adriana said for an nf4 board. If you did want to go s754 then i'd probably look at the nf3 offerings from dfi, abit, or asus.

GPU= Graphics Processing Unit. AKA Processor on your graphics card.

Zaai, yeah sry, GPU = graphical processing unit, what was said above. Basically I meant video card. Were you willing to upgrade your video card? And which socket did you intend on getting, s939 or s754?

I recomend the asrock also. It's a good cheap 939 board that will do agp or pci-e video card or both at the same time but not sli/crossfire. I use mine with a cheap agp card and a pci-e raid card on a file server.
