I think this is why you don't "futureproof"
I don't get it! If you mean "you
are not future-proof", that would be correct, because while building my present rig, I missed USB 3 and SATA III by just a few months!
On the other hand, if you really mean "there is no point in trying to be future-proof", that makes some sense too because PC technology always keeps on incrementally changing/improving, so that no amount of future-proofing with the then available components is going to be future-proof for too long!
lol, this is why there are expansion slots and this is why you want all of them in functional state no matter how many slots you filled up...
Yep! I have one PCIe x8/x16, one PCIe x4 and one PCIe x1 slot
unoccupied, although the PCIe x1 slot is inaccessible due to the bulk of my Graphics card, and I wish to utilise the PCIe x8/x16 slot for an expansion card like the ASUS U3S6 card.
@ico:this is incorrect. if by any chance sjoardar has a Marvell 9128 controller for SATA III, the ICH10R is better.
Nope, I don't have that. Pardon my ignorance, but does that controller come built into the mobo, or is it something I can buy separately
now?
