Upgrading my system, request for info
Present system: epox 8k3a+, 2100+, leadtec geforce 4 TI 4200 128mb,
Mushkin 512mb PC 2700 DDR Sdram, no sata drives. It is about time for me to upgrade to a 3000+ or 3200+ for performance. No intense graphics, just stabile performance. Request suggenstions and comments- I am looking at the Epox 8RDA+. Also, are the following newsgroups active? I get zero headers with Free Agent: alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt and alt.comp.hardware.pc-homebuilt Anti-Spam: Change shellyfnospam to shellyf to respond. Thanx, y'all have a nice day! Retired to Cyberspace from Green Valley, AZ. |

Thanx, y'all have a nice day! Retired to Cyberspace from Green Valley, AZ. Well, as this is a group for 64 bit processors, are you referring to the Athlon 64 300+ or 3200+? The motherboard you mention is a Socket A board, and won't handle an Athlon 64. If your upgrade is to an XP 3000+ or 3200+, you might want to ask in: alt.comp.hardware.amd.thunderbird or, as you seem to be targeting Epox products, alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.epox Why the 8RDA+, when the current model (for NForce2) is the 8RDA3+? Why not consider a 64 bit processor, and other motherboard brands such as Asus, MSI, etc? |

Sign up for free at www.individual.net for a proper text group service. You'll find thousands of articles in those two newshroups there. |
