Looking at changing Mobo, CPU and Ram so I can use DDR2
My current MoBo is about 5 years old and won't take DDR2 and as the price of DDR is so much more than DDR2 it makes more sense to replace the lot and freshen things up a bit more than pay over the odd's for old technology.
But I'm struggling to find a MoBo to suit my needs, some of the things I want are:
2xIDE: I have my HDD's and DVD drives on IDE channels, I find MoBos that have 1 but not 2, can I use one of these and get a IDE/SATA conversion for my HDD's or something?
I currently have a Socket939 AMD CPU but doubt I'll find a DDR2 MoBo that can use it so can lose that and change CPU if I have to (which I think I do), Would like to stick with AMD as I've had them for years with no problems although I understand that Intel are the market leaders (esp the quadcores) by some way at the moment - Opinons?
2x PCi-E slots: I currently have 2x nVidia 6600GT GFX cards (yeah they're getting on a bit) but don't want to upgrade them yet so would like a MoBo that would use these until I get round to upgrading them.
Go go geek monkeys - to the Googlemobile!!
