AM2 mobo with legacy stuff
I am looking to upgrade from an Athlon XP 2500+ to an Athlon 64 X2
4200. I have looked at so many motherboards but most don't support my older stuff. I have several parallel port printers that won't work with USB adapter cables and 2 new IDE hard drives. I also see there is a lack of PCI slots in new motherboards and some don't have firewire. I guess I could give up on the printers and use the hard drives on older computers but I did find a few motherboards that might work. They a DFI Infinity NF Ultra II M2 Gigabyte GA-M55SLI-S4 DFI INFINITY NF SLI-M2 ASUS M2N-E SLI If anyone has any experience with these or any other suggestions, please post them. Thanks, Chris |

The most PCI slots I could find on an AM2 board was 4. I got the Gigabyte GA-M55Plus-S3G and am happy with it. http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/...GA-M55plus-S3G -- Want the ultimate in free OTA SD/HDTV Recorder? http://mythtv.org http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html Usenet alt.video.ptv.mythtv My server http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/cpu.php HD Tivo S3 compared http://wesnewell.no-ip.com/mythtivo.htm |
