Got a GA-M55S-S3 rev 1.0 motherboard with 2x1gb modules of A-Data Vitesta DDR2 800MHz memory in it. A few days ago I bought some extra ram, 2x1gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2 800MHz modules. The timings on the modules are the same (5-5-5-18) and I think the voltage differs with ~0.1V. When I first bought...

Please disregard the ability to upgrade.
Assume a 32bit OS.

I am trying to see if it is worth the effort to gut an old Gateway computer and rebuild it from scratch. I have heard that it is hard to find a motherboard that wold fit a gateway case. Is this true? Are there work arounds?

Does anyone know if I will be able to run a 36gig Raptor drive and a
80 gig WD IDE HD in the SB75G2 in addition to a ATI 9700 Pro? Im
