Quick question. I'm a moderate knowledge base on computers. I want to upgrade my AMD for under $120. Any suggestions. Also my current CPU is a Brisbane. Does the new processor have to be the same or can it be a new location, givin that my mobo supports it.:confused:

After a week of research on this crappy board :down:(M2N68 LA) I only found that It does not support AM2+ and it only supports 65W CPUS. I should of researched and bought the GL8 to get the 8G of mem and better CPUs. I still cant find if I can change location type (Current Brisbane) its hard to find indepth specs on this board. If anyone can post a link with better specs. I'm also trying to find the voltage of my PCI givin it doesn't have a paralell printer port on board. I dont want to get a 5.0V add on if it wont work.:shrug:

Thanx Kid. I compared a few of them a few days ago and already bought the Athlon 64 X2 5600+ Brisbane 2.9GHz. (From NewEgg) I think I spent two dollers more for this one. This will be the third time I'v gotten something from NewEgg. They truly are the best.:up: I'm still waiting on it. Still kinda stuck on the whole Core type thing. (Eample) If my CPU is a Brisbane can I switch to a windsor? I should know this but I cant find any research on it, Or the voltage for the PCI slot.:confused: Do all newer mobos use 5.0V PCI? I have an expensive laser printer but no port to hook it up and I dont really want a USB adapter.
