Answer» Hello there. I recently fried a part of my motherboard due to improper handeling. My old Motherboard was a [link]http://www.digital-daily.com/motherboard/asus-p4p800-e/[/link]. Now I am trying to get the same thing or something similar to it. Any advice would be greatly apperciated. The socket requirements are out of the question now but I need some help finding a motherboard that supports AGPx8 and PCI-E. Asrock 755 Dual-VSTA(Click) What would be a good processor to go with that board raptor? I don't want anything to expensive(the new intel cpu does SOUND nice, bit expensive for now), price range 500$ or a cpu that would give equivelent proformance like my original. Also, I have two DDR512 pc2700 ram sticks and I Just want to make sure these are compatibile with the motherboard(I sound like a complete noob but I don't want to another problem occuring ) Thanks for the help!You can install either DDR1 or DDR2 DIMMS on that mainboard, so yes, your current memory is compatible. You will need a 775 socket processor, dual core is pretty expensive but this seems like a decent processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Conroe 1.86GHz LGA 775 Processor. I am not 100% sure if it'll work on that mainboard, it's got the same socket but Intel is a bit weird with some chipsets not supporting certain processors.. Best way to find out is to E-mail either Intel or Asrock and inquire on that.Quote Also, I have two DDR512 pc2700 ram sticks and I Just want to make sure these are compatibile with the motherboard(I sound like a complete noob but I don't want to another problem occuring ) Buying all the peripherals to go around the RAM seems like a strange way to go, and wanting both AGP and PCI-E makes your choice pretty minimal. |
