Maybe worth replacing instead of upgrading.

LGA1155 - one fewer pins than current LGA1156 CPUs. These sockets are NOT compatible, so you cannot use an existing LGA1156 CPU in a new motherboard or visa versa. Not only is the position of pin-1 different, the socket notch has moved from 9mm to 11.5mm from the centre and the entire voltage plane layout has changed.

nope

Hope I'm not stating the obvious too much here, but thought i'd add that Sandy Bridge - with the necessity of new motherboard, possibly ram, etc - may not be the best option cost-wise for those already with decent i5 or i7 sytems.

You may be better off looking at other upgrade paths - faster processor, more ram - or even overclocking.

For me personally, i've got a Core 2 Duo E8200 at stock 2.66GHz. Think a move to a quad-core is fast becoming a necessity. I may try out SOW/COD with my current system but expect I'll upgrade in the next few months.

i have a dual core now and a quad would be very fine. now that i know that sandy bridge will not be my decision i wonder which one to get.the costs play a role for me, but i want something decent too.any suggestions?ah by the way thx for your quick answers.

Budget?

Max would be i7 860/870 - I guess.
They are ~$300.


But I'm AMD guy, wait for the intel boys to chime in.

as i dont play any other games than il2.

Sounds familiar.

[David198502]

300$ is ok!may its a bit less in euros.
what does the mainboard exactly do??will i get an increase in performance when i change my crappy one??

yep one year ago i became aware of the develpement of storm of war, and decided to buy 1946 to prepare myself for the upcoming game.this was the best decision i have made since then.il2 1946 was/is worth the 4euros ten times.i confess im an addict.
