I am admitting to my failure and now asking for help from you knowledgeable great folks! I have upgraded the RAM, CPU, and the storage drive from an HDD to an SSD (Samsung 860 Evo SATA 3). My current board is SATA 2, has 2 PCIe 2.0 slots (X1 and x16), and I don't even care about the 2 PCI slots lol Well, I cannot find the specs for the motherboard and I've tried everything!! Either I'm doing it wrong of isit just not popular enough for anyone to have posted them online..? I am asking for 1 of 2 things.. either the specs for the motherboard (or even a pink to a sure that may have it), or what exactly do I need to take note of when swapping the mobo. I'm not pilingl for anything crazy or expensive. And I don't game (weird I know but I'm into building things and fixing things and keeping busy). I'm basically just after the challenge of it all.. the challenge!! Don't exactly like easy but not finding the motherboard specs is pretty frustrating! I've searched every number on every sticker that's in the case and haven't gotten anywhere.. but I do want to upgrade the board so any info would be GREATLY appreciated!!! And one last thing, I really want a better chipset and a socket that accepts a wider variety of CPU's! Either Intel or AMD. Would prefer Intel supported boards since I've researched the crap outta them and have 2 and 1 on the way.. a quad core Q6600 actually... An oldie but goodie! It's not even on the supported CPU list but I've read of guys using that CPU on supported sockets that weren't listed in the CPU support list that have been successful, so I'm hopeful!!! Thank you very much for any and all of your time!!
Thank you!!!!
