Anyway, what's the rest of your system like Greg? It may be worth a full overhaul, or build a new one. I'm not sure there are any S478 ones with SATA2. Probably the best you will find for S478 now would be the Asus P4C800-E Deluxe or Abit IC7-G.

It's OLD! And full instant upgrade isn't an option - my customers don't like paying me too regularly! :dogeye:

368350 2005-07-01 10:51:00 One thing to consider in the approach you are taking, is what is the useful life of the socket for the existing cpu. Will it be redundent in six months time thus trapping you in another board + cpu upgrade within a shorter period than you plan?

If your going to replace the board, I think you should have a hard look at replacing the cpu and possibly the ram along with it.

Yeah Murray, that's a given. But it's a matter of economics, and short/mid term solution is definitly to provide for existing generation cpu's.
