hi all
thinking about up grading old pc (it works ok, its a K7) with all ide connections
and that is the problem, i like to have 2 hard drives a dvd and a writer on my pc
but on these new boards the is only 1 ide connection, so it means buying 2 sata hard drives pushig the price up of the up grade
was looking at AMD 2 as cpu don't do any gaming on it, just the bog standard stuff, few letters bit of email, etc
i have a laptop as my main computer, so don't ant to spend lots, i was origanaly thinks it would cost around £160 for m/b, cpu, memory, now with sata drives it looks more like £250
any tips please
