cpu motherboard help
i am one of these old farts who will waste nothing if i can help it and my cousin knows this as he donated to me most of his old computer
motherboard-cheap msi one.
ram -1gb
graphics-geforce 8500gt(pci-e) 512mb
psu -450w
cpu-amd athlon x64 x2
also in side the case (which is trash) i salvaged 3 fans.
i have a old dvd drive (it dont burn properly,but reads ok).
and i just grabbed a 30gb hdd from an ancient machine i had lying around,put it in a caddy and it had 98 se on it..
i was going to bung it all together and use it just to test out windows7 a test machine if u like.
but i had a brainwave in my current computer (no laughing please) i have a geforce 7900gt 512mb and a amd athlon x64,so my question is do i swap the graphics card and cpu,the graphics card will fit ok but will the cpu,my motherboard is an asus a8n sli deluxe,i dont want to strip my computer down unless i know the cpu will fit so any help would be most welcome.
