So I was thinking of upgrading my computer. Around November (birthday time) I was going to buy myself an AMD Phenom II X6 3.3GhZ processor, and 12GB of DDR3 1333 RAM. To do this, I also need to upgrade my mobo, and I've found one within my price range that I like, has all the compatibility I need, except for this one problem, which I couldn't find an answer on.
Are 6gb/s Ports on a mobo compatible with any hard drive? Does a hard drive have to have a certain spec to work with 6gb/s, or is it just PnP? And if a hard drive has been running with 3gb/s, could I switch it over to the new mobo?
I have a feeling the answer is pretty simple, I just couldn't find anything and didn't want to make any mistakes.
Thanks
