$250 for a Conroe mobo? That's incredible!

E6300 $210
ASRock 775Dual-VSTA $60
ram- supports ddr, not neccessary to upgrade
video- supports agp, not neccessary to upgrade
So a total upgrade cost of $270, minus whatever you can get for your current cpu and mobo.
If you are on a tight budget I would suggest considering this option; however it is not the best option if you are planning on upgrading your video card beyond a 7600gt as the pci express slot is only 4x.

That motherboard is not even rated for Conroe. If you have information that it is, please link.Originally posted by: itsrunninghot

Good luck . . . there might be some i865 chipset Conroe boards out there eventually, or so I've heard, but I wouldn't count on it.
