Hi, I am looking to upgrade to sata hard drives, looks like my current mainboard cannot accept sata without using ide to sata adaptor (which i assume would slow down the transfer of info??) so which mainboard would be best for me to put my current hardware into but allow upgrades?
I currently have pentium 4 3.2Ghtz socket 775
ide hard drive (willing to go without it in new system if needed to use sata instead)
readon 9550 256 graphics
6.1ch sound card
ide dvd dual layer rw
floppy wasting space (not sure they put it in there a bit of waste i think!)
I want a fast transcoder, office , 3d gaming all round machine. thanks.
