I am trying to upgrade. Due to very limited funds I wish to use my :-
Hard drives (160 gb & 80Gb)
PCI Sound card,
dvd writer
floppy.
I am replacing the BOX (ATX) with a LARGER version. Ram (DDR2) Motherboard intel pentium 4 925x EM64T 775 PCIe ATX and have just bought a 775 2.8 Ghz processor. My problem is - I have just realised that this board has Sata connections - will I still be able to use my listed items? Please say yes, it has taken me forever to collect and PAY for these items from ebayI might be still asleep but I cannot see any make / model of your "new" motherboard on your post? I would assume it has ide connections on the board along with your sata connections- double check , read the specs on your new board and make SURE it says it has IDE connections.....( those are what you need to plug in your old hd's and floopy/optical drive)most 925x mobos still have 1 ide connector so he'll be able to use 2 of his IDE devices...

Let's have the make/model number please...

for the others you can get these things for about $30 (IDE to SATA converters)




Sorry, it is a Gigabyte Intel Pentium 4 925x Em64T DDR2 PCI-e ATX. That is exactly what the listing said on eBay. Can't seem to glean more info! It does have one ide slot but I have 2 Hard drives plus DVD rw
Kind regards
Kevin Sorry again, just realised I gave that info without realising - the only other info I can get is the number P89260A9vQO0P8Quote from: screwball on May 21, 2007, 04:55:49 AM
