Alright, either my MSI K7N2 motherboard or my AMD Athlon 2000+ is fried, so I am purchasing a new motherboard and processor (both are under warranty - whoo hooo!!!)
Anway, my question is this:
I know these boards support 4x DIMM Dual Channel DDR in 266/333/and 400 (what does the 266, 333, and 400 mean? I know it is the speed or something)
My question is will these boards support older 2x Dimm. In other words, are they backwords compatible? Can I drop my old Ram in this 939?
See, I am having to buy a new motherboard and processor and would like to jump to a Socket 939, but if I have to buy new memory atm, I will not be able to do so.
If not the 939, then what about a 754?
Help please, I need to make a decision this morning.
Thanks in advance,
Terry
