Title: AMD Micro ATX MOBO
Post by: 100Coogn on April 16, 2015, 06:26:15 PM

Looking for an AMD Micro ATX mothorboard that has 6GB speed for the SATA drive.  I saved up enough money to finally get an ssd, but I'm only utilizing 3GB drive speed, due to the motherboards limitations.
This is the motherboard I have now.  Asus M3A76-CM (http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/M3A76CM/)
Her is my CPU.  AMD Phenom II X4 965 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103692)
If anyone has one they'd like to part with, shoot me a PM.

Thanks.

I should have put this in the classifieds...  Please move Skuzzy when you get the time...
Thanks.

The board you have uses DDR2 memory, most(all?) of the newer boards with SATA III (6GB) use DDR3.  You may have to get new memory.  You might want to hold off on the upgrade unless you already have DDR3 memory.

I don't have ddr3, but I guess that's the way I have to go.  Been checking on ebay.  They have some nice Gigabyte boards on there.
I might have to just bight the bullet and get one.
