I have been searching the net for a sign of help but came up with nothing. Here is the situation, I have a Pentium D 805 (Smithfield) 2.66GHz CPU. Around August I will be upgrading my comp to this......and if I need to change these I will, but I am on a budget, basically.
1. EVGA 680i SLI ATX motherboard (will change if it will have a problem with my CPU) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6813188019
2. Graphics card (probably an 8800GTS 640mb, but I will wait to see what new graphics cards nvidia comes out with)
3. G.Skill DDR2 800 4-4-4-12 Timings (I think) http://www.newegg.com/product/product.a … 6820231065
4. 80GB hard drive http://www.newegg.com/product/product.a … 6822135106

My question is, will my CPU have a spazm and die if I put it in the motherboard, will it crap out with my GPU? Basically I am trying to find a way of avoiding a CPU upgrade, but upgrading everything else on my system (just about) with minimal problems with the computer. I will probably have a new cpu by November-December anyways, but will my Pentium D hold off until then?

ALL HELP IS APPRECIATED!!!

not necessarily. Question is if the mobo supports the Voltage levels required to run a smithfield core. Best to contact eVGA and ask them if its possible to still use your CPU.
once upon a midnight dreary, while i pron surfed, weak and weary, over many a strange and spurious site of ' hot  xxx galore'. While i clicked my fav'rite bookmark, suddenly there came a warning, and my heart was filled with mourning, mourning for my dear amour, " 'Tis not possible!", i muttered, " give me back my free hardcore!"..... quoth the server, 404.

I have that MB, it will support your CPU.

There is really no point in having that MB with that CPU though, it's a waste of money. Buying an 80GB HDD is a very bad idea too.

That'd be much quicker, bigger and better. Can you really not afford an extra $10?
