First of all, is everything compatible and second, would it be easy to upgrade the processor in the future? Thanks! |

Yes, they're all compatible, but frankly, I'd have to say upgrade might not be easy. Sorry I didnt mention this on your other thread, but Intel is going on LGA775 sockets now, and will likely discontinue the Socket 478 MOBO/CPUs in the near future. Although you may find an upgrade, stock would likely be discontinued. With memory, the market is heading straight for DDR2 with these new MOBOs. That might be some trouble there, since the memory you have is regular DDR SDRAM.
Hope that helps, kram

So you think in a year or so those parts will be somewhat obsolete?
