So I can buy the mobo and reuse the memory I have now? That will help a |
| 21 |
LOT right now. The new mobo will support twice the amount of ram but I |
| 22 |
can upgrade that and the CPU later on. The mobo I am looking at is this |
| 23 |
one: |

The mobo I currently have is here: |

I don't overclock so I'm not worried about that. I did it once with a |
| 32 |
old Abit mobo with a AMD 2500+ CPU but it just didn't make much difference. |

It appears I looked at something wrong here. The one I have is the same |
| 39 |
as what the mobo calls for. I think??? I need to sleep more and I got |
| 40 |
to much stuff going on. :/ I wonder where I got the 1666 from?? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
It appears that I should be good to go with the new mobo. Use my old |
| 43 |
ram, upgrade with 8GB sticks as I can and they go on sale. In the end, |
| 44 |
I can have up to 32GBs of ram. Talk about putting some stuff on tmpfs. |
| 45 |
O_O I have always wanted to copy the tree to tmpfs and run "time emerge |
| 46 |
-uvaDN world". Just to see how fast it will go. lol |

If anyone sees anything here that won't work, let me know soon. I plan |
| 49 |
to order this thing pretty soon. Given the USB issue, the ethernet |
| 50 |
having issues, I'm worried something else may start to break as well. :-( |

Thanks to all. Posting the question got me to see I made a boo boo |
| 53 |
somewhere about the memory speed. I think? |
