 |
|
| Howdy all. I am looking to build a new computer from scratch, and my experience from my old computer is that compatability is everything. My motherboard was not able to use the other hardware I had put into the system to its full potential. So here's the question. What matters? With a motheboard, I know it should have a a high processor speed, and a high FSB speed, but to use the FSB effectively should the RAM be running at the same speed as well? Are there optical drives that are more efficient with a certain type of motherboard because of x, y, z? What about Hard drives? I know RAID is in, but.... (lemme put it this way), If I plug two RAID capable motherboards to two identical RAID drives, what is going to make the one motherboard able to run faster than the other? |
