I'm still planning for a computer upgrade, to increase performance and to save power.
I'm still having my eyes locked on the Phenom X4, which is socket AM2, but my own motherboard is only socket 939, which kind of sucks.
So I need to upgrade motherboard, but that's not the main issue at the moment.
Since energy-efficient Phenom X4 has yet to reach the market, I'm planning on an energy efficient "replacement" of my current dual core with another one, which are only available in socket AM2 nowadays.
This will be my current processor until Phenom X4 becomes available.
So will DDR(1) memory work with either or do I have to replace them with DDR2?
Another question might be, if anyone knows (if I have to replace the old DDR1): is it a good idea to go for higher speed DDR2 or just 400 MHz? The RAM has to be up-to-date since I will not be replacing the memory after that. Only the CPU.
If there are any suggestions about anything, motherboard, processor, anything at all, feel free to suggest. I'm open to discussion.
