Here's the deal. I just upgraded from an 820 to a 930 this summer. And well its been nothing but a pain. First board an ASUS died, taking a raptor with it. Second board the Abit in my sig has notorious memory issues, meaning a cpu that should do 4.0ghz on water, is held back by a board that can't even run my ram at its rated speed. 245FSB is the best I can do. Here's my deal. I want to know what you guys think about upgrading just the motherboard and cpu. I want to get 4.0ghz+ performance on a 930 in a Conroe system. But its gotta be done on a budget, IE sub 200 motherboard, 6300 and sub 200$ 2X1GB Memory. Can this be done? Should I just wait till better boards are out. And what do you guys think I could sell my motherboard, chip and ram for.

Thanks to all who respond

Sorry I'm confused... you're selling the 930 and getting an E6300 or keeping it?

yup right. Let me outline it for you

Budget Setup.

New Mobo - Under 200
CPU - E6300

Gonna hold off on the Memory

I want the performance of the E6300 equal to that of 4.0GHZ 930. If that is possible

If I do go the conroe route, I would sell the 930 and Abit Board

What is the value in that system, if I would sell it here and other enthusiast boards

Is that clearer?
