I am planning to upgrade my system soon. Dumb question -- will this Intel chip and this motherboard work together? Thanks.

Yes, but PERL motherboards suck.

If you fill all their RAM slots, they lock up.

I will therefore accept suggestions for replacements! I need to buy a chip, motherboard, case, and 1 gig of memory for under $500. My current total with this motherboard is $425.

From what I've heard, Asus motherboards are nice. I'm not too wise in the ways of pc building myself so I'm not sure how good my word is on this...but yeah...

I've been using Abit, Asus and Soyo boards with AMD processors pretty much exclusivly for the past few years with little to no problems.

This is the performance board my company uses. I've never had to RMA one in the time I've been here, and that puts it's reliability WAY above that of PERL boards, of which I've RMA'd six when we use about the same number of each.

Not too spensive at around $110, too.

What does socket 478 Intel mean? It says it can use that, but I don't know how that's different.

If you check out the back of the processor, there are a bunch of little pins.

If you count them, there will be 478, thus, it will require a socket with 478 holes. That socket...is Socket 478.

Some times processor manufacturers try to be fancy and name their sockets stupid names, like Socket 7 or Socket A.

My family has had only bad experiences with MSI motherboards. My brother had one die on him, which he replaced with an ASUS board. My dad had a shop custom build him a system. They put in an MSI board, which died on him after only 7 months. When he had the shop replace it under warranty, the new one arrived with dead USB ports. They changed it again for a different model MSI board, which died less than a year later.

D865PERLL Motherboard... Filled all the ram slots with PC3200 RAM (total of 1.5gb worth)... No issues detected. Unfortunately I had to rip out half a gig and return it (it wasn't mine to keep) so all I can say is I've had no issues while watching anime, playing a few emulators, ripping a DVD (but not encoding it), playing RO and getting as far as login for EQ (I logged into FV for all of 2 minutes before I got bored and logged out).

I'm using the 2.8 version of that CPU. Prescott Core, 1mb L2 Cache.

Is there a BIOS update or something that may have needed to be applied, Maradon?
