yes ill have to buy ide only.
does ide to sata converters work on this mobo.anyone got any xperience?

P

ya i think u can make it work! Dom1nator can u confirm it?

??

A

"ide to sata", I think you wanna say sata to ide because I do not think there is SATA port in 845.
"sata to ide" or "sata to USB" both will work

S

is it worth going for a sata to ide converter ??

or shall i buy the regular ide.the problem is i am not going to upgrade my mobo for another 2 years(unless it stops working).

will i get good mobo's with ide channel on it so tht new ide hdd can be used w/o going for hdd upgrade again?

speed issues??

pls reply fast!

P

than get ide

if u can get a PCI based converter then yes its worth..dont go for those cheapo miniature chips that are available in the market..they perform poor..
else go with WD IDE hard drive..but make sure u go with a WD..

you know any particular brand i shud go for??i hav decided to go for 250 gb hdd!sata or ide depends on collective opinion here

and if i remember i got 2 pci slots one is occupied by 56k modem (which i am not using)other is temporarily empty(will be used up by ethernet card )

.so i can make use of a card here.any idea of costs involved.

i decided to buy 250 gb hdd initially.today i went to sp road ,asked for 250 gb wd ide hdd in one store called sahara .he offered it for 2675+tax.but he didnt have wd so
went to golchha intertrade ,he also didnt have wd 250 gb hdd.infact he didnt have any internal hard disk except seagate.he offered 320 gb for 2900+tax=3016,paid 3000.
