Well, I recently upgraded my RAM to 2.5GB (over kill) just to realize I'd totally forgotten about my almost out of date CPU. I currently have a...AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ And I'd like to upgrade to something Dual, I have an nforce3 motherboard..."NVIDIA nForce3 and NVIDIA nForce3 Professional were designed specifically for 64-bit AMD Athlon 64 FX, Athlon 64, and Opteron CPUs." If that helps. If you need more information on anything, email me. Thanks!

I need help on compatibility, basically, I'm not sure what will work with my motherboard, as I don't have the manual, also, quad would work. Thanks.

Need the specific motherboard model. nForce3 is the chipset name. There are at least FIVE versions of nForce 3
* nForce3 Pro 150 -- initial version, Socket 754, only 600 HT
* nForce3 250 - Socket 754, basic value chipset, 800HT, does not include on-chip Gigabit LAN or on-chip Firewall.
* nForce3 250Gb - Socket 754, 800HT, includes gigabit LAN and on-chip Firewall.
* nForce3 Ultra - Socket 939, 1000HT, gigabit LAN, Firewall, Dual-Channel unbuffered, for Athlon 64/Athlon 64 FX.
* nForce3 Pro250 - Socket 940, 1000HT, gigabit LAN, Firewall, for Opteron.
Also, keep in mind that nForce 3 is NOT fully compatible with Windows Vista. See wikipedia entry on nForce 3.
