do u need to upgrade mother board to install this

No as I had the asus P8Z68-V motherboard.. Id say you need to make sure the psu is above 500watts( mine is a 750 watt as I want to sli it later on) and you have a PCI -IE slot and it should just go straight in, If you had an old pci video card then it should go in but make sure it'll fit.. my old card 4870 1 gig is the same size so fitted nicely.. cheers from NZ

You shouldn't have to upgrade your motherboard as long as you have one PCI-E (PCI express) slot available.this is a pretty big card so I also recommend checking to make sure it will fit in your case but that has nothing to do with the question,just another precaution.

Yes, you still need to install an internal card. Hopefully you have some vacant PCIe slots in your computer.

Yes you can. But after upgrading it if it not work, you'll need to upgrade the Bios. Then you good to go.

Yes, make sure to update to the newest bios before installing CPU and apply a very good quality of thermal compound to CPU. Thanks, Discount18

With out knowing which mother board you have I would first check and see if you can run 64 bit with your motherboard

No need to upgrade just for the video card, but I did upgrade the power supply due to attaching a total of 3 harddrives and 2 DVD read/writers and max memory.

Yes it does. You may want to install the drivers from the CD that came with the MOBO or download them from Asus.

No, You will have to upgrade it. Most impressive machine I have owned. As fast as it is huge.

No. The memory is fixed on the motherboard and is not something that you can upgrade. 4GB RAM is all that it has and will ever have.

Yes. But you have to update the motherboard. It won't recognize it otherwise and it will crash the system without updating

You would need to look up your motherboard to see if it accepts an LGA775 processor

Depending on your motherboard go to the manufacturers webpage and update from driver downloads
