Ok so its time to upgrade and I need soem help. I currently have
motherboard - intel d850emv2
cpu - p4 2.4ghz with 533 fsb
ram - .5 gig rambus non-ecc 800 mhz
Power- a 450 power supply
video - radeon 9800 pro
sound - soundblaster 16 pci
What I want to do is upgrade my mother board and chipset to a p4 3.0 ghz with 800mhz fsb but Ive been out of the computer loop for awhile and not 100% sure what to order or whats compatible. So if anyone could help I would appreciate any suggestions. Also whats the diff on ram between non ecc and ecc. I know ones corrected and ones not but really dont know what that means or if it is really any good. Also Someone was telling me that rambus isnt as good as ddr2 memory. If i need to ill scrap the rambus and change the memory if it isnt compatible.
