Due to circumstances, being that my computer has probably decided the DIMM slots where unnecessary or mutinous and had to go . I'm going to test my pc with new memory sticks and if it doesn't work I'm gonna get a temporary rig. The pc would consist of the following parts:

AMD Athlon 64 3500+
1Gb DDR400 CL3 KIT (lifetime warranty)
MSI K8N Neo2
SATA HDD, not sure which one yet.

The MSI K8N Neo2 is there because of the AGP Club3D Radeon X800RX I still have. And I'm gonna use the Antec SmartPower 2.0 450W I already have.

Anyway, I was wondering are the SATAII backwards compatible? Cause I don't know too much about SATA yet, but I remember reading something about them being backwards compatible with the SATA/150 ports.

It's gonna cost about 300€, due to the high prices in Finland, but what do you guys think about it? And what HDD do you recommend for about 50-60€? Only from these companies, thank you, Multitronic and Digicomp. The links should lead to the English sites.
