What do you do if your motherboard is old and you want to improve it but the RAM and CPU and other things from that old motherboard won't work for the new motherboard?

Answer

When we upgrade our motherboard we concentrate following important points to make changes in ouy PC

1 - First check that the Ram is Dimm or Simm (Too old memory )if it is Dimm Ram then you will have to check that this Ram is of 66 Buses , 100 Buses , or of 133.

Normally P1 works 66 bus ram and P2 works 100 bus ram

2 - Then come to Processor , see wether it is Slot Processor or Socket Processor

depending on the processor type you will have to get the new motherboard

For example I have a pc with a Motherboard XL 2000 and I want to change my motherboard so the Ram that is installed with XL 2000 is 64 MB 100 bus and Processor is Genuine Intel 350 Mhz (Slot Type)

I may get the other motherboard say Intel 810 C Chipset or GFXL (because) Both the motherboards support Ram with 100 bus and My Slot Processor 350 Mhz

It would be better for you to confirm by asking before purchasing new or other motherboard that what is the final range of processor that the new motherboard will support

As I change my motherboard from XL 2000 TO GFXL OR Intel 810c I will Use my own slot processor 350 Mhz that is PII Processor but I can also change My processor from 350 to 500 600 Slot processor to make my system PIII whenever I get the money.
