right now i am using an unmodded (except for more RAM) HP Pavilion a1424n.
i need to upgrade my motherboard to one with PCI-e 2.0. I would like to keep my same CPU and OS.
my CPU is a Pentium 4 3.06GHz dual core, and my OZ is XP.
my problem is figureing out about 64-bit and 32-bit. my OS is 32-bit, and i'm sure my CPU is also. I know that the motherboard figures into this because of the connector with the RAM, so i want to make sure that i can get one that is 32-bit, or find out if it doesn't matter.
Does anyone know of a motherboard that will take that CPU, have PCIe 2.0, and also be able to handle 32-bit?
thanx
