I don't know a lot about intel motherboards. I need a cpu that will fit that is at least 2.6ghz. What do you recommend? It has to be an intel. I built a computer for a guy and his sign machine and it is not compatible with an amd chip. Help is needed fast.

Jump to Postyes you will have to reinstall the os, and yes that cpu/mobo combo should work fairly good for you aswell. good luck on your build.

Ok, now answer me this. I have to change the motherboard and the cpu because of incompatability with a piece of equipment it will be running. Will I have to uninstall the os and then reinstall. The only thing I will be changing is the mobod and cpu. I have an oem xp pro.

I went to Intel's own site for info on my AN430TX board, dating to the late 1990s! They still had VERY useful info on that motherboard that I needed, highly recommend doing a search there as well!

Do you recommend hypterthreading or not. I disabled it on my other machine but just want to know your thoughts.
