Hey guys... First I will go ahead and tell you, I have never built a pc or did any kind of major upgrades to one.
MOst I have done is add memory, pci cards, wipe hard drives & re-install OS.
Although I beleive that within time of reading and getting advice from you guys here at Tech-Forums, I will be alot better knowledgable is the 'build a pc' world.... LOL
Ok. I currently have a Compaq Presario S4200NX.
I would like to actually build a new PC with lots of speed. I would be purchasing new motherboard, processor, memory, & fans.... would like to keep my DVD burner and CD Burner that I have. As they both work great for me.
My question is -----> Which type of MotherBoard will I have to purchase? Micro-ATX or just ATX style MotherBoard?
Or will I have to buy and new case?
Can I switch to 775 socket?
Thanks in advance.
