[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.

	Alright i am looking for a new CPU, I have a Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 2.66Ghz 6MB 1333FSB, It's just not powerful enough anymore i wanna stick with Intel and was looking at I5 qudcores but i don't know much about the I5's really. I am looking for something within the 100-200 price range Also i am not sure if i need to upgrade my motherboard or not i currently have a "EVGA nForce 730i GeForce 9300 Socket 775" Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank's! -----signature----- Lionexx - Shaman - My new love toy - Supp RM Skribbliz Myth - DAoC - For life - OF http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZmE3fUKU5U - DJ Tiesto - Power Mix http://www.last.fm/user/Lionexx/ XBL GT: SpankMyMonkey37

	Core i5 needs a socket 1156 motherboard. And these boards use DDR3 memory now, so new memory is needed as well. Between a new processor, board, and memory, not sure you'll really be able to improve upon what you have now for $200 or less. -----signature----- (none)
