Upgrading (why?)

[underworld288]

I have a Biostar 6100-M9 in my computer right now (here is the link) and i was wondering what mobo would you suggest that has the same features but is better. And if I upgraded what differences would I see (if any) for gaming.

no not from a motherboard upgrade. For that you need to be looking at gpu/cpu upgrades

well would i see any difference?

are you using the onboard graphics? if so you may see a slight improvement. But investing in a new pgu may be the best options (rather than a new mobp)

i kinda figured that much i was just seeing if it would have been a waste of money or not.
thanks

whould this be a good mobo.

there's no point to upgrade to that, it has about the same features. For this upgrade, what do you want to improve anyways?

the mobo i have now isnt a good overclocker

There may actually be a slight improvement. From reading some reviews, switching from a low-end to a DFI LanParty showed a 500 point increase in 3DMark (not sure which version).

However, if your looking for a way to improve performance, your best bet would be to upgrade the CPU, RAM, Video Card, or hard drive.
