I currently have a Gigabyte ga-k8nf-9 motherboard with an AMD Athlon 64 3700+ processor attached.

Is there any possibility I can upgrade to a dual core processor and if so which one. The gigabyte website showed this :

Which I'm assuming means I can use the 64x2 4800+ ????

Any advice would be fab

 

Correct - you can use any AMD Socket 939 processor, including the 64x2 4800.

 

Cheers ears !

I bought the mobo a fair few years ago. Cant believe I can still get a decent cpu upgrade on it ! I thought the best I'd be able to get was the 3700+ which is already in there. Think I might get another gig of ram too !

Now wheres the cheapest place to get hold of a new processor ? tried ebuer but they dont stock 939's, nor do Aria

 

Could try scan.co.uk

if not see what ebay has.
