It was a toss up between Gigabyte and ASUS (on recommendation) so either would do for the future. I am only running 1Gb of PC2700, so I should not have that incompatibility problem. I am only a relative newbie to home building, this is my 2nd (of 3 homebuilt), but it is evolving all the time (as funds allow of course)
Currently trying to get an older laptop to run to a higher spec than supplied, to use as a mobile storage and manipulation device whilst out and about with my Digicam (SLR). I am happy with what I have done so far, just need to find out if I can up the graphics on it. I have seen adverts for Dell components (eg Graphics cards), but not sure if my one will take the newer parts! (Is it onboard or what? Have to ask around I suppose) I am happy with what I have for stills use, but need better graphics to play DVD's when away from home/on holiday etc. Current play back = cr@p!
