Have a lot of older chipsets running Q8400 quadcore and DDR3 RAM but the motherboard does not have built-in AHCI, which is a bummer for trying to add SSD into the mix. But the Q8400 and DDR3 are all still pretty powerful enough for my day to day use. so my question is:
Q do they have newer boards with AHCI, USB3, etc. that will accept this older Yorkfield CPU? http://ark.intel.com/products/38512/intel-core2-quad-processor-q8400-4m-cache-2_66-ghz-1333-mhz-fsb and DDR3 RAMs?
I've been out of the game (pun intended) for a few years, just coming back to re-up some my older hardware
edit: I do not want to upgrade to the i3,5 or 7core series. just wanna replace the motherboard but hoping to get USB3 and AHCI.
