Computer Upgrading Questions
I need some help! =P
I'm considering upgrading my PC and i've been looking around for cheap parts. What i'm looking to upgrade is my processor (right now i have a PIII @ 600mHz..haha). Im looking at these processors..cuz they're pretty cheap: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...Fencoding=UTF8 P4 3.0 gHz....(not THAT cheap) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...Fencoding=UTF8 Celeron D 2.8 gHz http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...Fencoding=UTF8 Celeron D 3.06 gHz http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...Fencoding=UTF8 Athlon 64 3000+ @ 1.8 gHz (can be overclocked to 2.5) So my questions are... what will i need to change in order to upgrade processors? I'm thinking i'm gonna need to upgrade my motherboard (currently IBM 847670U), possibly my case, and then if i change my motherboard i dont know if my RAM will be compatible or not (SDRAM). and if i do need a new MB, what should i buy...? |

You need to decide somethings before anyone can suggest a mobo and yes you will need a new one.
You will be happiest with the Amd and yes you will need new ram as DDR ram is very different. So you need a mobo processor and ram. If you want to carry old hard drives forward be careful because most newer boards take serial hard drives which are completely different from older ide hard drives and you need to be certain new mobo has 2 ide slots for 4 ide devices if you want to move old drives forward. |

hm..yea..i'm gonna be needing SATA drives. All my HDs in both computers use ribbon cables..yikes.
So that raises another question...will i also need to buy a new power supply that's compatible with the HDs? this is the type of connector i have wiht my current power supply: http://www.izdir.com/electronic_work...2/113_1304.JPG |

hi..i have another question..sorry!
If i get a B that only supports SATA HDs, would an adapter such as this (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...Fencoding=UTF8) work if i still want to use the IDE drives? |
