I'm currently running AMD XP-M @ 2.5Ghz on A7N8X-E, with PC X1950 PRO AGP Graphics card, Corsair Twin XMS PC-3200 XL 1GB Kit, and Maxtor DiamondMax 9 SATA Hard drives in Raid-0. This thing already benches the 3DMarks 03/06 with 13126/3854.
I know that basically, the processor is mainly holding the graphics card back. So I would like to know that if I'd get the best S939 Mobo, how would it affect the scores? I'm planning to get the DFI Lanparty UT NF3 Ultra and Opty 170 and oc it. Will this upgrade work? The RAM and everything would be the same. Just that the motherboard and processor are to be upgraded.

You might have an issue with the opteron processor.
That model most likely requires ECC memory, which your corsair is not. ECC memory costs a good amount more and is not worth the money. Basically it just has an extra memory chip for error correcting.
You would be better off just getting one of the X2 processors for the 939 socket.

This would the the benchmarks of the video plus cpu (according to speed).

The opty 170 is fine, and it DOESN'T need ecc memory. This cpu would work as well.

Get a new computer. You're wasting your time and money with marginal upgrades.
