Well, it would certainly help if you posted your system specs. We need to know make and model of motherboard, and the make & model of the PSU and wattage output. Is 270 in USD?
i have a gateway tbgm01 motherboard, intel i7 920, geforce 9500gs, 12gb ddr3, and an insignia 520w atx psu (and im using CAD)Are you playing game?
I read your other post, you have 9500gs right now?
Keep in mind if you get an SSD you'll need to reinstall Windows.
Use your brain for a moment. That motherboard like any X58 chipset board, utilizes SATA 2. Just because some random website claims it doesn't, doesn't mean it actually doesn't.SMH Jesus tap dancing Christ it's like no one read my post.
The Fer doesn't even have SATA FFS!
The computer isn't worth upgrading. Especially given he has more than enough power for CAD.
Maybe this is wrong?
