Hi guys ive been thinking now that its time to throw out my tired socket 478 P4 and upgrade to somthing that does'nt bottleneck my ATI X1950 PRO AGP.
Ive decided to get this mother board :

Ive got my mind on that mother board as i can slowly start to change over the PCI-E and DDR2 and its cheap
At the moment my 478Pentium 4 is serverly starving my X1950 PRO so i want a CPU that wil be able to give it all the stuff it needs and not bottlneck it. The mother board ive chosen supports the following CPUs :
Intel Celeron D 365
Intel Pentium 4 571
Intel Pentium 4 672
Intel Pentium D 840
Intel Pentium D 960
Intel Pentium Extreme 840
Intel Core 2 Duo E6700
Intel Core 2 Extreme X6800
Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700
Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600
Now the question is, which CPU is best suited to my GPU? This is an upgrade to last me atleast another year then il do a COMPLETE system rebuild with new everything.
So what would you people suggest? Im slightly interested in maybe slightly overclocking but not an extreme overclock. Ive been looking at the core 2 duo E6300, is it anygood?
Regards, almighty
P.S I live in the UK and buying CPUs from abroad is not an option i want to explore.
Peace out
