[QUOTE="ilovepiano, post: 442999, member: 528"] Right, I've just been thinking, what with Christmas not so far off, about getting some new bits n bobs for my puter. Here's the deal... If I get a new processor, it means getting a new mother board also, and in turn will mean having to get new memory. I've been having a bit of a browse and I have to admit, I'm a tiny bit confused to say the least, lol. So I have a couple of questions if any of you would be so good as to help answer. 1. Processor - want to stick with AMD and want at minimum 3000. What's the difference between socket 939 and 734 etc other than size? Is there much point paying extra and getting 64 bit? 2. Motherboard. Don't understand this RAID thing. Will I still be able to use my existing CD/DVD drives and IDE hard drive? Needs to have AGP graphics port, and can you get them with PCI express as well, for future upgrade? Is there any point me spending £100 or more, when one that costs £30 / £40 would do the job nicely? 3. Do I get to plug my hard drive in and everything will be cool, or is it a case of format and start again coz old drivers won't want to know? What's the beef with setting bios the first time it's switched on? Is it something that's pretty easy for someone who isn't a pc expert, but likes to have a crack, lol :thumbsup: [/QUOTE]
