System drive dead, looking for an SSD
So I have this ASUS motherboard and I need to replace my Windows system drive.
I was looking at the OCZ Agility 3 but I noticed it is 6gbs but the motherboard is listed at 3gbs.
I'm guessing that 6gbs is SATA III and 3gbs is SATA II, correct?
Will I still be able to use this drive, but I just won't have the full speed of it?
I'm not really in a financial position at the moment to up grade my motherboard, but if there's a nice one you know about that is relatively cheap ($80-$100) feel free to recommend that as well.
And to tie it all up I have the AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb, so the board would need to be compatible with that as well.
But hopefully, I would be able to find a 120GB drive, at that very nice price point the Agility 3 has and avoid replacing the motherboard as well.
Thoughts? Ideas?
Thanks!
