Hello to all.
I would really appreciate it of you could give me some advice as that dreaded upgrade time has arrived and I would like a piece of your wisdom as I am pretty much uninformed about anything after the P3. (P4's and AMD's that is..)
Unfortunately I have alrerady placed my order as I was pressed for time from my supplier but I would like to confirm that what I have ordered will cover my needs..pretty lame huh??
First of all I want to state my system specs:
P3 1000
768MB RAM 133MHz
3 HDD : 1 40 GB, 2 20 GB
GeForce2 GTS
Sound Blaster Audigy Gamer
52X CD-ROM
12x PC-DVD ROM
running on Win XP PRO
My problem was that I had recently also purchased a Plextor 24x
CD Writter and I had the box open in order to switch cables according to my needs.
I had read somewhere that some of the new motherboards allow multiple connections (even up to 8) so I decided to upgrade both the motherboard and processor togeteher. I decided to go with an Athlon XP instead of the Intle Pentium 4 cause I heard that they are much faster plus they cost around 20-30% less.
So this what I ordered, hoping that will allow me to connect all the aforementioned IDE devices on to my Pc :
ASUS A7V266-E MotherBoard
with a AMD XP 1900+ CPU
and 1GB 266MHZ
Will this setup do my job??
I am not so much interested in miroring e.t.c right now but I how I can learn a bit more about it through this site in the future..
Any help and/or advice would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks
