Hello,
I am new to this forum and hope someone will help with a few answers I have this board arriving today ASROCK 4COREDUAL-SATA2 with an E5200 Processor, 2x1 GB Corsair 667 DDR2 memory moduals (I will be buying 4Gigs of memory ASAP) and 2 Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drives.
My question is this (by the way I chose this board because I have a Nvidia FX 5500 AGP Video Card 250MB) is this card going to slow down or "bottleneck" my E5200? Should I purchase a newer PCIe card? I am also planning on using a RAID 1 setup. I want a setup that is stable and as fast as it can be without any issues. I will be running xp pro sp2. It?s a business computer. Also I will try the Bios 2.13a that I noticed here on pctreiber http://www.pctreiber.net/datei_download_2999.html
Please if anyone can tell me about what will and won?t work as far as settings and hardware go, I will be most grateful. I know everyone here are oc?rs and the most knowledgeable, that?s why I chose this forum.
