Hi, first time posting here. I'm going to be upgrading my old Pentium D 2.60 E5300 to a nice and fast Intel core 2 duo 3.0 E8400. Only reason why i am doing this is for gaming. Now my mother board is a asus IPIBL-LB (Benicia) G33 Chip set. LINK http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&docname=c01324212 .
And the Cpu's page http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=33910 .
I saw on the E8400 that a Intel Express G33 Chip set is on the compatible list, my mother board just says Chip set : G33. Is that the same thing and if so doesn't that mean their both compatible? If you need my current Cpu page here it is http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=35300 . If anyone was wondering what kind of graphics card i do have since i am going to be gaming it is a GTS 250, 512mb xfx core edition. Thanks
