Hey, I was just looking into be getting a new motherboard because I want to switch from my old ddr2 to ddr3.
I found out one with the socket - lga 775 and chipset g41,which supports my Intel dual core E5300.
So I want to know if there's anything else I should look into before getting some new ram, other than the clock rate.
And also if I have to format my hard disk and reinstall Windows when I switch motherboards.
I plan on using my E5300 but I'll have to change my ram (obviously as the other motherboard is ddr3)
So is there anything else I should look into before getting and installing a new motherboard and ram?
Help would be appreciated very much.
Thank you.
