what about the ram, do both boards have/take the same kind of Ram?
great question, I know the p4b takes pc133 and I am running pc133 on my current p2-99b, when I run pcwizard it shows up as pc133 (and one of them even shows up at
125, which kinda confuses me, but that's really not that hard to do
), it also shows that I only have 2 sockets filled, when I have all 3 filled, weird, dimm1-1, dimm1-2, dimm2-1, and dimm2-2 appear filled, while dimm3-1 and dimm3-2 say empty, even though the dimm3 slot is physically filled, I have no idea what all this means...
would this sdram work on the p4b...?
I found this on the internet,
http://www.dansdata.com/i845s.htm, it's a less than glowing review of the board I want to switch to, but even so, it's a huge upgrade from the one I have now (asus p2-99b) and I am not really worried about performance, I don't play any high end games and just mainly surf the web and post on message boards, the upgradeability of the board (which has a processor and was free) is what has me wanting to switch mobos, especially the 6 pci slots and agp slot...
