[VN Boards Archive]

Welcome to the Vault Network forum archive.

This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least 20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per page).

Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50 topics per page, while others deemed of historical signifigance may be archived in their entirety.

We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in lieu of that.

Please enjoy the archive.

	Are you kidding? In the link you posted is a tab that says CPU Support List. It shows you every available CPU you can use in that MB. -----signature----- Nothing to see here...

	At a certain point in time, its becomes not worth doing a CPU only upgrade. Not knowing what your current cpu is, its only a guess, but chances are you have reached that point in time . -----signature----- http://gimpchimp.etilader.com/display.php?user=lonestarr 3500+ solo kills & Lone Enforcer WAR - IronRock Dest- Energist, Moogabooga SWTOR - KV - Energist, Moogabooga

	It's written in the motherboard specifications right in your link that the motherboard supports Phenom II 45nm processors. All you'll have to do is to upgrade your 0508 BIOS to a newer one from the download pages. That's would be a very nice performance upgrade for you. What is your motherboard's PCB version? (not BIOS, PCB, must be written somewhere). -----signature----- SWTOR: 50 Jedi Shadow (Tank), 50 Sith Marauder (Annihilation). LOTRO: Lifetime account, playing very casually.

PCB is not CPU though, it's motherboard version For that, it's better to download something like Aida64 or Scisoft Sandra. -----signature----- SWTOR: 50 Jedi Shadow (Tank), 50 Sith Marauder (Annihilation).
