Hey, I have a couple of questions... sorry if they may seem a bit stupid... but I just want to make sure.
1. I am getting a new AMD Athlon 3700+ Socket 939 processor with this motherboard. In the near future, I also plan on getting a new hard drive. Heres the thing: I want to buy a new SATA hard drive like this one, but I still want to keep one of my old ATA100 drives (40gig, 5400RPM). Will these 2 hard drives work together? I will boot a seperate OS from each. So can I boot these together?
2. I also want to buy some more RAM, currently I have 512MB installed in my system. If I buy another 512MB stick of a different brand (same speed though), will the 2 work well together? Or do both stick have to be from the same company/ make? What about if I buy a 1 gig stick? Will it still work?
Thanks a lot for any help you can give me, and thanks for your time!
