Re: Will this motherboard work?

My suggestion is to have a small c: drive 30-40 gigs, and only have your OS, and programs installed on it. for a d: drive I have a 250 gig, and use Norton ghost to make a backup image of the c: drive on the d: drive. Depending on how much you have on the c: drive, I can back up my c: drive image to the D; Drive and only use abour 3 gigs of space on that drive.

The Notron Ghost was only bought as a precaution, as it saves reloading everything in case of a crash. I had a Raid system on the c: drive before this, and it kept crashing. after I switched to this I have never had to use the image file to rebuild. But if I do I have tried it, and it works beautifully. It only takes minutes to save you hours of reloading.

I backup every 2 weeks, so if I have to reload, I want have to go too far back. Normally when you do have a crash, only the c: drive will crash. at least in 20+ years of working on computers this has been my experience

I have 2 gigabyte mother boards, they work fine. but I dont care for the video, and audio integration. I would rather be able to replace them.
