Quote AMD is releasing a new line of highly anticipated processors, supposedly this summer, and Intel just released their highly anticipated processors earlier this year (Sandy Bridge) Quote What is all this talk about Sandy Bridge why it is so good Quote Many new computers do not support PATA/IDE drives, FDD (Floppy disk drives) or PCI (non-express) expansion cardsThese technologies are no longer current, and are of no interest to mainstream buyersQuote What should I do I have some old IDE hard-drives ? Should I try to built old cheap computer just to move every thing to new system?
Sandy Bridge is the newest offering from Intel has higher speed and lower thermal watts it has turbo boost, and built in graphics as apposed to on board graphicsThe big deal is its price is way lower than most older CPUs in the Intel line but gives better performanceIts true most new mother boards no longer come with IDE and floppy pick-up portsmany have PCIe express X1 and X4 ports with less plane PCI portsThe adapter dik refers to allows you to plug in you IDE had drive to one end of the cable and the other to a USB portMaking it sort of an external drive without the enclosureIt's VERY handy to be able to get your data off an old IDE hard drive without going through the trouble of having an old machine around that does have an IDE port.
You would have to break down the hard butterscotch candy and try to re-melt it in order to stir in the nuts to make peanut brittleBetter to start from scratch and make the peanut brittle in the old fashioned wayBetter yet, go out and BUY it!!
