Motherboard question
I know this may be the wrong ng to ask my question, but it seems the
most active and likely, so pardons in advance. My mobo (Asus P4PE - socket 478, Intel chipset 845) is messed up (on-board sound chip and USB ports out, hd not shutting down at power off), and I need to replace or upgrade it. What I'm asking is for recommendations of a mobo that can use my existing eqpt. (Intel P4 2.4 Ghz Hyper threading cpu, 512Mb of PC 3200 ram and an 4x AGP video card inside an Antec SX835 case). So far, the only mobos I've found available nowadays that seem like they might work with my stuff are the Intel D845pemy and maybe Tyan S2099gnn. Are there any others out there, and what is their quality like? I'd like to stay away from refurbished mobos. Tx, John -- |

Tx, John -- I had an 865 chipset mainboard die on me, and replaced it with the following: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138262 I was just looking for a cheap fix, but the new board was actually faster and more stable. It's an entirely different chipset though, so a re-install of Windows is strongly suggested. -Dave |

The currently sold Asus 865PE would be an excellent substitute for your dead

Motherboard question - follow up
Thanks Dave, BigJim, Andy and DaveW for your comments. I checked out
your suggestions and decided to go for cheap (the Biostar mobo). It is on the way. I'll upgrade to current tech when money is plentiful :-) Thanks again, John -- |
