Hi Guys,
My config. is AMD Athlon64 3200+ CPU, MSI RS480M2-IL Motherboard, 1GB DDR RAM, 80 GB Seagate Barracuda SATA 1 HDD.. and i'm running WinXP PRo with SP2..
I want 2 get myself a new 250GB SATA HDD.. But Seagate's 250 GB models are SATA 2 HDDs.. My motherboard is compatible only with SATA 1 according to its manual.. So, will the SATA 2 HDDs work in mine?
Is my motherboard compatible with SATA 2? Or is SATA 2 HDD backward compatible to work as SATA 1? Or will an BIOS Upgrade enable SATA 2 Technology on my motherboard?
I'm really confused as none of my frnds hav an answer for any these questions..
