You are wasting your time and money trying to make a socket
370 CPU run on obsolete under-powered. Your CPU is 667 MHz
with a 256 KB cache and runs on a 133 MHz FSB.

You should replace the mobo because it will not support the
latest, and for UT, essential RAM, graphics cards and CPU
you really need to get a frame rate fast enough to play the
game. A proper and new mobo will require a new power
supply. In effect, you need a new gaming computer, expect
to spend $500-1,000.

Just my opinion.

| You need to know the make and model of the motherboard to

| If you have a motherboard manual, read it, and visit its
