Ive got a box, running a few vms. The mobo refuses more than 2gb ram, but the cpu is pretty idle, about 5-10% Can i get a new 775 mobo and 4gb ddr 2 1066 ram and put the cpu in it? http://www.lucascullen.com/images/cpu.png |

Yeah, man. Can't see why not. Go to the mobo OEM website and check CPU support. They are always comprehensive. |

Actually the biggest prob I see is getting more DDR2 1066 RAM - do you already have some laying around? |

Have you checked for a BIOS update for your motherboard to increase the amount of RAM it can support?
