I am thinking about upgrading my computer. My current setup is AMD 3700 socket 939 in a DFI nf4 ultra motherboard, 2 GB PC3200, Win XP Pro SP2. I use my computer for Recording music and gaming mostly.
I am thinking about a board with socket AM2 something under $100, Asus, ABIT, DFI or is there another board with a NVIDIA chipset that is better. For a processor I am looking at an AMD X2.
My big question is can I use my current memory OCZ PC3200 or do I have to get new memory. I have to have 2 GB and money is tight. Also do I have to reformat my hard drive if I get a NVIDIA chipset? I do not want to have to reformat my hard.
