RAM and modern processors (upgrade help)
Posted: 2006-05-17 11:04am
So, I've come to the realization that I won't really be able to upgrade my graphics card to anything modern, because my motherboard only supports up to AGP 4x, and most modern cards are PCI-E 16. As such, I need a new mobo, which means a new processor, too.
Currently, I've got a MSI K7D-Master board with a pair of Athlon MP 2400+ procs on it. I want to switch to a single-proc 64-bit system, having grown tired of the enormous expense and heat dual procs incur.
However, I've got 2 GB of perfectly good PC2700 RAM in that board that I'd ideally like to swap over to a new system. Is this feasible, given my upgrade targets (PCI-E mainboard running a 64-bit proc)? Or is PC2700 RAM too "old" at this point?
