Had a look and I dont think you can upgrade the graphics because that motherboard doesnt have free slots apart from PCI (not PCI Xpress) and a 1x PCI Xpress slot which they dont make graphics cards for. It takes a socket 775 chip but I doubt it will take a new Core 2 chip. Think the only thing you can do is add RAM |

Buy a bundle : http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showprodu ... 39&subcat= 116 for a motherboard, Core 2 Duo E2140 (1.6) 1gb ram. (can get a much better bundle for about 250 quid cd 2.4, 2gb ram) Then buy a graphics card : From 70 quid for a 8600GT From 150 quid for a 8800GTS If you do get the above think about getting a new PSU, anywhere from 50 to 100 quid. |
