hmm
@Azure.EXE also my mobo is some random south american brand. Literally no bios update after 2009
so im concerned
I had a friend that did the mod, said it was really easy. He uses it as a file server. Actually, he said he uses it more now as a daily driver than his main machine which is used almost solely for gaming now.
looking at cpuboss, they're both on par with each other, it seems
Ebay xeon is 2x q6600 in price
i'm not an expert with pc hardware, so
yeah lol
I'm just afraid I get either CPU and then its not compatible
Then just get the q 6600 or better.
Look up the motherboards compatibility list.
I dont know where to look
I have a ipm41-d3 mobo
Might take some digging, but if it got a bios update in 2009 it shouldn't have an issue supporting a quad core.
Just put that + "cpu support" into Google.
These niggas say it'll work

Then you should be fine.
but they're just randoms
Oh this confirms it
http://dasinformatica.mercadoshops.com.br/kit-placa-mae-pcware-ipm41d3-core-2quad-q6600-2gb-ddr3-433xJM
They're selling a kit with the q6600
Hardware forums are more trustworthy than 4chan, bud. Just search the model number + cpu support and see if you can find anything more official if you're skeptical.
now the question remains, x5460 or q6600
What? Isn't the core 2 arch 64bit?
no its the mobo
4gb cap
Well, they obviously didn't forsee anyone using 64bit and requiring more than 4gb of ram.
mfw with a q6600 and gt730 I can play bf4 on ultra low with 30 fps. JUST
75% res scale too
Haha. Nvidia below x50 is pointless.
what is x50
Any gpu that low is pointless, really.
the face when you realise you can play bf4 on high on just APU set
no external needed
i dont usually gayme
650, 750, 950,1050.
wew good thing i got the 730 amirite
What resolution, tervy?
lemme check
when i play bf4 on my current setup the PC chokes like hell
Atleast the video is getting solid fps
