Hello all! I'm basically building a new system. Here's what I have so far:
-HD0: 80GB; HD1: 20GB (both working fine, high speeds) (IDE)
-DVD+-R/RW, DL, all that good stuff (IDE)
-Floppy drive
-Modem (PCI)
-Wireless adapter (USB)
-LAN Card (PCI)
-ATi x1600 graphics card (AGP)
-SB Audigy 4 Pro (PCI)
-1GB of RAM in the form of four 256MB sticks (DDR PC 3200)
I need to get:
-a case
-a PSU
-a motherboard
-a processor
I have all of the above, but they're the parts that need upgrading. A good case is easy enough to pick out; that's not a problem. I found a processor I like (this Intel Pentium D 930 Presler Dual Core. If that's not a good one, please tell! I've found a good PSU as well, a 450W, that should be fine for now and a few furture upgrades. Here it is. Here's the main problem: finding a good motherboad. I'm having trouble finding a good motherboard to suit all these. What my motherboard needs to have is this:
-an LGA 775 socket, if I am indeed getting that processor;
-an 8x AGP slot;
-three PCI slots (four would be really nice, but not a req);
-four DDR PC 3200 slots for my RAM;
-from a respectable vendor (newegg would be nice)
-it won't crap out on me!!
If anyone could help me out, that would be fantastic. Thanks so much!
