It is really hard to find P45/P43 based mobos now a days. Let us know are you gonna purchase new Ram for it or going to use existing DDR2 ram?

If you make investment on DDR 2 now it costs more than DDR 3

Also P45/P43 are just worth the investment according to me.

Do a full upgrade if possible. Better long-term investment.


Wait for new AMD Bulldozer proccy's.
