I know I asked this in the What to buy section..but was not getting enough responses. (Only one member was helping me out)
My current Mobo is not working and I might be able to get a new mobo from the shop, but the mobo has to be in the current Mobo's range.

I need some replies quickly because today or tomorrow I will be going to the store and will have a talk with the shopkeeper.

My Budget is 6K. I want to OC my E2180..at least to 2.6.
I am NOT willing to Upgrade my Rams. And Used Motherboards aren't a option.


What I found in the 6K range was:
Asus: P5QPL-AM
Asus: P5QPL-CM
Asus: P5KPL-CM
XFX: 630i.
Any other one?

Which will give me the best OC without Upgrading and OC'ing my current Rams?
I need as much info anyone of you guys can provide about all the mobos listed. (Just in case)

My sepcs are:
E2180
2GB Kingston 667 RAM (2 sticks, each 1GB)
Generic 400watt PSU
8600GT

I think P5QPL-CM is a better option here then P5KPL-CM with less then 2k diff.

And dont worry about divider, its not intel P:

Jjust download the bios manual for any motherboard you are looking to see what options it will give you.

Out of all the mentioned ones, P5QL-CM is better, it is on g43 chipset while rest are on g41, g31 and 630i chipsets......go for this one....

How far can it take my E2180? Without Upgrading RAMS.
well with my p5k-vm which is based on g33 chipset, i took my e2180 to 3 ghz on stock hsf and same kingston 667 bus value rams (i could have gone higher but couldn't go coz of temp. limitations)......i guess it will have same if not better oclocking capability.......you can use 1:1 ratio and you will be able to go to atleast 3 ghz which is 50% oclock.....

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.

    did you try setting up Google Payments? For UBL you may have to get it enabled for internet transactions, Naya should work without it!

    I tried both NayaPay, and UBL, but I keep getting "correct country selected..." error. I already have PK set there 🤦‍♂️
