    what processor, ram, videocard can this motherboard go up too.

    can the processor go to dual core?

    can the ram go to ddr2?

    can the videocard go all the way to 8800GT?

    Moved to the ASUS forum.

    The CPU is limited to the current Socket P generation, but Penryn will probrably be supported. The RAM is DDR2, and is under normal circumstances should be 3.2gb in XP and 4gb in Vista.

    The video card is limited, it's a notebook, notebooks and upgradability don't mix very well.
