Yeah I know this machine is on a Intel D865G Board & 2.8 P4 processor
but I need to do a serious upgrade so bang for buck wise AMD is the
only way to go. I am doing increasing amounts of video production
these days- boat sales and bike racing DVDs mainly - thats why I
wanted SATA drives as part of the upgrade plan.

I have a mate who is a games freak he has the latest FaTility MOBO and
the silly money top spec AMD FX processor, liquid cooled, 2 x Gainward
7800 PCI Express cards, the whole bit, its amazingly fast and lit up
like a christmas tree on coke. I am probably going to get the credit
card out next week and trade what I have in for the same kit, now I
have played with the best nothing else will do.

Bugger it!

AMD, Intel, it is far more than a processor that makes a good System. I
have no games what so ever and I am running a P4 630 Dual/HT 2 G DDR2 WD
Raptor SATA and Maxtor SATA/IDE with Xtasy X850XT PCI-e on an Intel D915PBL
main board. All just for CAD/Video/Photo. No competition there so my old
System will stay old for awhile longer. I can say that SATA is working fine.
I am not all that impressed by a modest read/write increase. I was hoping
for more but boot time is short.

I have an old relic P4 2.4 on an Intel D845GBV Desktop board that this
System replaced last fall and it is just sitting there as a DVR.

Good old Intel and SATA computability.

Cliff I mean I am changing the entire system for a duplicate of my
mates games system, I will trade what I have in and credit card the
rest. Most importantly I know his system runs without problems on the
SATA Drives he has installed and it is lightning fast also I can get
direct help in setting it up should I need to.

Only problem is thinking up a good stroy to run past the wife re why I
need to spend several K on PC bits. Mind you she can get through that
kind of cash on a couple of outfits with shoes and handbags so you
would be forgiven for thinking it should be no problem.

I wish!
