System Upgrade

Post by Adam »

After fighting my old motherboard for about a week for it to enable SSE with an Athlon XP(needed for Premiere Pro) and failing and then again when My 160 Gig hard drive won't enable DMA so it is very slow.
So I have j1ust ordered a new motherboard Gigabyte GA-7VT600-P-L.

Anyone used it or similar ?

It comes with SATA, again any good worth the money compared with IDE ?

SATA is much faster than EIDE, however you will need SATA drives, IDE drives won't work, cabling is different... I have used the Apollo chipset this board uses, only issue I have had was using Linux to get on board video to work... under Windows all was well...

Gigabyte has a bad reputation in our neck of the woods
