Excuse my computer language because im a noob.
Im looking to buy a motherboard that is compatabile with pentium 4 and has a pci express 16x. I only want to replace my motherboard and video card. Do i have to make sure my HD and my drives support it or will all the motherboard support it. What about the cables and wires, do i have to look for a motherboard that supports the number of pins that is connected to the HD and drives or do all of them have the same number of pins.
