Hello there! :) I have the same unit as yours. :) Currently, I have the stock cpu which is a Core 2 Duo (E7300) 2.66GHz and Nvidia GT120. I'm planning to upgrade my pc. Is Intel Core 2 Quad (Q8400) 2.66GHz and Nvidia GTS 250 compatible with my computer? :) Thanks. :)
@nateehapee yes, this motherboard support to Core 2 Quad ( Q8400 ) 2.66GHz no problem, graphic card Nvidia GTS 250 should be more powerful !!! good luck ~
Is the Intel Core2 Quad Q8200 compatible with mine? We have the same model FMCP7AM? What else do I need to upgrade before upgrading my processor because my current processor is E5200 2.50 GHz and it can't keep up with the latest games. Please reply soon. Thanks
markchern! good lord i finally found what im looking for, i have same rig as you, Acer m5711 but its 4gb when i first bought it im planning to upgrade to 8gb but im no pc expert, could you tell me something about acer's system compatability? any specific hardware i could use to add to my current system?
@markchern so mixing brand is fine? .. not i understand some quite few things.. my fsb is running at 333mhz i want it at 400mhz to maximize the use but i cant change the ettings in bios, actually there is nothing in bios to change the values.. you have an idea how to?
@kustomkarson mixing brand is ok, original bios is not allowed you to increase the fsb speed, the easy way is to download the over clocking software to increase it, including graphic card core speed over clocking.
be careful, the system will not be stable. not recommend, system too hot problem must be solve.
our mainboard didn't support SLI graphic card crossfire design, we only have 1 PCI-Express 2.0 x16 slot.
but we can run RAID 0 to speed up the performance, this machine come with nVidia Media Shield software. ( need 2 harddisk )
all kind of desktop 240 pin DDR2 PC-6400 RAM can be add-on to our mainboard.
or faster RAM like Kingston Hyper-X series, Corsair High Performance RAM, or those ECC Fully Buffered Value RAM, it make your compurter like F1 racing speed.
Thanks man, i downloaded the CPU-Z.. It helped, we have the same motherboard xD I looked at the motherboard nForce 730i.. I'm not good with computers but can i put 2 video cards on it's motherboard? and what kind of RAM can i use on the 2 empty slots? xD Thanks, this helped alot..

Dude I have a doubt with this CPUID, for my comp its written as SSE(1,2,3,3S) does that mean SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSE3S? Please reply very important
janardhan94 2 years ago
@janardhan94 YES! you are right ! SSE command is used to improved multimedia performance.
EM64T is to support 64bit operating system.
is that ok for you?

mozart116 2 years ago

hey what games can i play with NvidiaGT120 video card please reply ASAP!!!
sergaiDragon 2 years ago
Halo 2 - very well
Need for Speed Carbon - very well
in maximum resolutions - 1680 x 1050
usually no need that higher resolution, you just select the comfortable game play resolution for yourselves.
it can save a lot of system resource
more RAM better, now arm with DDR 2 - total 8GB RAM

I have 3DMark Vantage test result with this machine post on my blogspot ( artman2007 )
and more mainboard information ( card slot, memory slot )
compare result with Intel core i7.
