My mistake. I thought MCP61 was the chipset name. The Wikipedia article I found also indicated that MCP61 "... introduced a bug in the SATA NCQ implementation. As a result, Nvidia employees have contributed code to disable NCQ operations under Linux." But I have no idea what that means, or whether or not it would be relevant in my case. > > If you need parts for old systems, you simply can't be Ebay.

What I meant was that I may buy the new mobo, processor, and RAM that you suggested and put it in this second machine I'm talking about. But yes, that's true about E-bay (and other sites too). But the key is you simply *must* know *exactly* what you want/need. Retail vendors, such as oempcworld.com, usually have a web site where you can identify your system somehow and then they will tell *you* what you need (or at least what they recommend). On E-bay, it's, "I have this for sale. Do you want it or not?" And often, for me, the answer is, "I'm not sure". If I buy the wrong thing, and that has happened before, I'm usually out the money and stuck with something I can't use. The terms are often "all sales final". I simply am not a hardware expert. I know enough to be dangerous, but not always enough to be competent. That's why I opened this thread in the first place. I went ahead and bought that lot of 14 DIMMs from E-bay; but without your assurances that it would work in my system, I would not have had enough confidence to buy it. Thanks for your help. -- .''`.
