Looking for a new motherboard
Hi all.

I'm after a new board as my current one only has a 4x PCIe slot, and can't run my CPU past 2.1 Ghz (ASRock 4CoreDual), so I think it's bottlenecking things quite badly in iRacing.

I need more than 2 slots for RAM since I have 3 sticks, and I want to be able to overclock my CPU (E2140) to around 3 Ghz if possible, which apparantly it will do with the stock cooler. I'm looking to spend the minimum really.

This one looks like it meets my requirements - http://www.ebuyer.com/product/161010

But it seems some people have had problems with crashing, and not booting with USB devices attached. :/
Your CPU is the bottleneck. It would also be the bottleneck at 3GHz because it's a shit CPU, it's just a Pentium Dual Core after all. I suggest you get a new computer altogether as anything will be faster than what you have now. Any upgrade will be a waste of money really.
