My RDRAM mobo broke....now what...

[roshi]

Here's my specs:

P4 1.80a GHz Northwood
ASUS P4T533-C mobo
2 x 256 MB Samsung PC800 RDRAM
2 x 128 MB SynxMAX PC800 RDRAM
MSI nVidia GeForce Ti-4400
80 GB Maxtor HDD

The motherboard died. I need to find a replacement, should I try to find a RDRAM motherboard (same on ebay?) or would it be better to sell the RAM and buy a DDR SDRAM motherboard?

Which motherboard should I get?

Which RAM should I get?

Also, if I bring my HDD to a new computer, would my data stay?

Thanks!

you can probably sell that ram for a nice amount on e-bay, and with that money almost cover all your costs for a new mobo and DDR memory.

hey I might have some use for that rdram... how much are you willing to sell 1 of the 256 rd ram?

sell the RAM, get yourself a new mobo that uses DDR and new RAM and supports your CPU or get a new all 3.

this is the 478 socket northwood CPU,correct? those handle extremely high mhz, how well would this work if he put it in a motherboard that supports 800mhz FSB and bumps it up to that?
