G'day everyone,
First off I just registered . I have decided that it is about time to upgrade my P4 3.2 GHz. I have a few questions regarding compatibility. Firstly, my current motherboard has a 775 LGA socket, does this automatically mean that it will accommodate a Core 2 Duo or are there further issues? It is a Intel D915PWK model. I am actually quite worried about my motherboard because Intel does not seem to have any documentation for it on their website. I bought it in 2004 when I first got my terrible little Packard-Bell before I knew anything about computers.
Also, would it be worth going for a QX6700 or would an E6700 suffice and would my mobo take both?
And lastly, if I do upgrade my motherboard which would you recommend? It would need to be compatible with a P4 and a Core 2 Duo/Quad Core because I would not have the money to upgrade all at once.
Oh oh and, I think my Hard drive is SATA1 does that mean I'll have to upgrade it too or will the motherboard be able to handle it.
Thanks in advance,
Raziel-Zero.
