im wondering should i switch mobo's and cpu prosessors to this one? or isnt there really a big difference in them, im pretty sure that its the same one that i am running right now expect a little faster than mine, hers the specs. or do you guys have something better to go along instead of the mobo/prosessor im running right now?

update your directx to 9b or 9c. do you have 3d accelerator or is it enabled because this link says no 3d accelerator & game wont work http://www.mobygames.com/game/command-conquer-generals/techinfo Miscellaneous Attributes : 3D Accelerator Required Denotes any game that requires (relies) on a hardware 3D accelerator. Games with this attribute will not run without one. 3D Accelerator Required is part of the Miscellaneous Attributes category
so is there any possible way that i can have that 3d accelerator on my radeon 9550? or can i get that somewhere?
my friend also told me that but both me and him went there and couldnt find 1 thing that had to be upgraded.
