carrick https://www.asus.com/search/results.aspx?SearchKey=M4A88TIf you mean the Asus MA448T motherboard, there are actually several variants of that board. Still, they all appear to support the same CPUs: AMD AM3 types, which unfortunately max out right around the level of the (^)BE CPU you already have. If it's one of the smaller 'micro ATX' variants of that board, you're limited even further to only the 95 watt versions of the AM3 CPUs because the smaller mATX boards lack the power components needed to deal with the 125W CPUs. I would honestly imagine that any CPU you could run on that board isn't going to change your max performance much, if at all, beyond what your current 960BE can do. Strictly my opinion, of course. Sorry it's not better news.

No problem, not at all a pain. Yes, you can probably overclock that CPU on that board. Those 965BEs are *very* good overclockers (I have two, and also a 960, all overclocked). Best bet onlearning how is to search around for online references - a lot of people have likely already done (and documented) what you're considering. You might get another 5-10% performance wise from your setup, as a guess. How much that actually helps with WOFF...well, it can't hurt, even if it doesn't help much. Fairly easy (and perhaps no cost) to try. Just watch the CPU temps and use a good burn-in utility to make sure the overclock is stable (I recommend Prime95 myself). If you want more than say maybe 5-10% (and that's max overall performance, not necessarily 10% increase in frame rates) then you should really consider a system upgrade. If you don't mind 2nd-hand parts, there are some very good 2nd-gen Core i5/i7 components out there for cheap Good luck.

KKSNOWBEAR: Thanks for the information. Will try the Overclock 1st then look for 2nd Gen core products I 7 would be nice,but probably need Moma Board and everything compatible. I was wondering if an I5 processor is the same as the AMD 965 ? although Intell has a lot of Nice Graphics Card , Bangs for the Buck,, AMD seems to be less so these days
