Recently decided to upgrade my Mobo and RAM but need to know a few things before I place an order. This is my first time doing this so...
First how do I identify which type of Pentium 4 chip I have so I can correctly choose the mobo and what will I have to look out for to match up with the chip?
I wanted to get something along the lines of the ASUS "P5GDC Deluxe" i915P Chipset Motherboard For Intel LGA 775 CPU here: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=13-131-519&DEPA=1
Also is DDR2 really worth getting over DDR?
Thanks
i should also add that I have a p4 2.66 with 512kb L2 Cache just need to know the Socket number (I think)
