Need Suggestions !!!
Hi all
I am running Abit Kr7a with AMD 1700 CPU and 1 GB Memory. I use photoshop and Adobe premier occasionally. Now I want to upgrade to something better, but using my Hard Drives, TV Card, Lan Card and Matrox Grafic Card from my old mobo. I like to stick to ATA though as I can not afford two hard drives right now. I do not want top of the range Mobo and CPU, which I can not afford. Something cheaper but very stable combination. Thanks for your suggestions. |

Well,
I don't look in here much anymore, having switched over to a C2D my self(currently most bang for the buck), but it sounds like you better check out E-bay. Your not going to find anything new that will work with all your old stuff. In particular, your old memory and video card. Most of the newer MoBos have only 1 IDE port. Why would you need 2 hard drives anyway? RAID is not all it's hyped up to be. Amir "bigdaddy" wrote in message ... Hi all I am running Abit Kr7a with AMD 1700 CPU and 1 GB Memory.

Thanks for your suggestions. Thanks all for your suggestions. The idea of using Matrox card etc. was to minimize the expenses. But as some good folks suggested, it is better to find a m/board with onboard Video. But I do not know which is a better proposition, on board Video or separate Video Card. But I still wants to retain my ATA Hard Disks because of the huge DATA I have on them. |

ATA controller cards are so cheap you can add one. I've got a PCI dual raid controller board you can have for $10 and I'll pay shipping. Complete with 2 80 wire cables and driver cd. If fact, this is it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16816124001 -- 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 |

I'd grab that in a heat beat if I needed an ATA card.... [Just had to say] -- Zyp |
