Intel D67BG motherboard: a modern Intel design.ĭDR3 memory sockets: Current-generation PC systems use DDR3 memory, but in many instances they support different operating speeds.

And if you do find yourself needing a floppy drive, you can always pick up an external, USB-connected drive. But unless you have a pile of old floppies, you won’t need a floppy drive. Floppy disk connector: The venerable 3.5-inch floppy disk drive survived for nearly two decades–an eternity in the tech universe.
