Really quick question.
Here's my current (aging) system:
Asus P5P800
Intel Pentium 4 3.2 Ghz
4x1Gig Kingston PC3200 DDR Ram
ATI Radeon HD3850
QUESTION: Because the P5P800 is an older board but still LGA Socket 775 can I take out the P4 and drop in a Q6600? Will this work? I really don't want to go through the hassle of building an entirely new system from the ground up. Not to mention I don't have the money right now. I'm trying to max out this level of technology (that's why I went with the HD3850 AGP card for instance.)
So far my computer is still rocking most of the games I play but I mainly use this as my protools workstation so I'm just looking to max it out for audio processing.
Thanks in advance.
cheers
