dont worry about it im super impatient and it pisses me off when stupid questions get answered and mine doesnt for like 2 days.

I see what you mean. I'm pretty sure the mobo has some PCI express slots its mainly the SATA, ATA thing I was worried about.

i have that RAM i like it a lot

 

[GreatHype]

thats good to hear.

 

[GreatHype]

Yes I have 1 PCI expressx16 slot. But heres the other problem. The HD is a sata 3.0gb/s and the motherboard supports SATA 150's. Could I still use these?

 

[BigLu]

hmmmmmmmmm, i don't know, i think it will work, but at sata150 speeds only, anyhow, it doesn't matter because no hard drive has gone over 150 anyway.

 

[kev]

except for sata3.0GB/s

 

[BigLu]

kev, you misunderstood me, they say sata3.0GB/s, but the actual transfer rate isn't anywhere near that, right now they don't know how to properly use the interface so you get just as good performance out of sata150 drives. The actual disk itself can't transfer data fast enough.

 

[kev]

ahh i see

Alright I guess I'll get those parts then. Thanks everyone for the help.
