Ok Guys. It has been a long time since I upgraded my PC.
It is 2G socket A with 1G DDR1-400

I was hopping to keep onto my memory, and was looking at 939 series
this seems now to be outdated by AM2.
The board that I have been looking at now is M2N-MX-SE, but I think I
have to
bin my DDR1's Is that correct for this board. I initialy want to keep
the cost down.
Acording to Asus PDF file on this I don't need to put 2 chips in. I
can put one in
either socket. If I want 2 chips they have to be the same
(electronicaly).
Question is do I have to loose the DDR1's and if I do put 2 512Meg
chips in
have I got 512 or 1024.

P.S. I don't want RAID. I hate it. If you don't have 2 HDDs it hangs
for a bit.
DVDs are only 15p each. I can back up as much as I want't But I need
to turn the RAID off Totaly.

Check with the seller/agent for compatibility on all. Then you have a
come-back basis.

You'd have 1024.

That ram seems very slow for a new board. Package it up and sell it on
eBay and buy something faster. The board you mention above takes DDR2 800.

Any up-to-date board will use DDRII. You can use your current RAM in
a 754 or 939 board, which you might be able to gt cheap.
