Im planning on upgrading all my PC parts, except the case harddrive, and dvd drive. So here are some questions,


RAM- My mother board doesn't support dual channel ram, could i still use ram that has dual channel mode? Example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820146093

Power Supply- How can i tell if my psu is micro atx or just ATX?

Video Card- Im not made of money and do not wish to spend $500 on a super duper 9800gx2 my total budget is around $150 usd for everything. But i found this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814161099 Opinions?

the only dual core cpu my motherboard supports is pentium d, so no questions for that. And thats about it, if you can answer these or give advice it would be greatly appreciated

About the RAM, no. DDR2 uses a different slot type than does DDR. DDR2 is 240 pin slots, DDR is 184 pin.
This set is decent:

As for the power supply, that part's easy. Gimme a mobo model #, and I'll tell you.

That video card will not work. Your motherboard, if it doesn't support DDR2, will not support PCI-e. Try this one:

My motherboard supports ddr2, just not dual channel i already installed a gig of ram, i have a pci-e slot currently, and a crappy evga 7100gs in there.. I don't have agp. I know that much about computers..


Heres my mobo

Current PC specs

Celeron D @ 3.33ghz

Nvidia e-geforce 7100gs 256 mb

1.5 gb Ram pc2-4200 @ 533 mhz

120 gig hd

Okay then. That would have been nice to know in the first place.

I will post ideas soon.
