I have an ASUS P4PE mb with 1GB Crucial PC3200 RAM.
I am interested in upgrading to a MB that will support more than 2 SATA
drives and I have not kept up with what developments have occured in
memory.
If someone has the patience to bring me up to date about RAM
developments, or can point me to a site where I can get an overview, I
would appreciate it. The new boards have dual DDR memory and I don't
understand if I can use two of my sticks or if I need to purchase new
memory (restating, can I use legacy DDR memory in a dual DDR memory
setup). But, I suppose, there is the question as to how much
performance improvement there might be in upgrading to the dual DDR
setup or whether I should just stick with my present memory and just
look for a board that has the native support for SATA.
That brings up another question, which is do I have to look for a
particular chipset for native SATA drive support?
Thanks
