Here's the situation:
I have an epox mobo with the via kt333 chipset and a XP 2200+ not OC'd.
I'm looking to upgrade either the mobo or the CPU but don't know which to do..
My only thing is that currently my temperature reading is approx. 70*C and I have no idea why. I have talked to people and basicly figured its a problem with the reading from the mobo because I have had no stability problems or anything. I still am a little worried about always having my computer run with a 70 degree CPU. I don't think that moving up to a faster processor would help my temperature problem but I also don't know if it's even a problem!
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
so the question is, should i upgrade the motherboard, or perhaps a new cpu? my friend says upgrade the motherboard, but its not that old, i think a new cpu or more ram would be more worthwhile (512mb now)
