well the mother board of my main computer is dead and its too old to replace with a new card, the cpu is AMD 1,81 Ghz so i don't know what type of mother board i will need to it and i don't want to put big cash for another card and if i replace the com with another i want one that can take my video card and my ram, a use pentium 4 is 225$ with 128 megs of ram, on my old com i got 1 gig of ram, so i will check for use part to the computer shop around and see what i can do with it.

Is it a 939 AMD chip?

Also, what kind of RAM? PC3200 or DDR400? etc.

If you know your motherboard make & model, that would be helpful in determining what you can replace it with that will still run all of your old stuff.

You'll probably have to buy it off of eBay or amazon, but shouldn't cost more than $50 or so.

i think its DDR i know it was 2x pack of ram, well friday i will get my com and ask what's the mother board and ram and video card, the video card is a genforge 6600 i think, since a game i buy was not compatible with that card and there was not patch for it, you find out only wehn you install the game, nothing was say that is was not compatible.

That's a socket 939 Board Don. They are Pretty cheap, If the Proccesser still works. Then again, IT's pretty cheap also to buy a modern board with a new Proc. also.

My next update will be to get away from my AGP Video card. But I have to save up for the MB, new Video Card, New Ram etc. The cheaper idea for you might be to Get a new 939 MB, but It's ultimatly up to you and your budget my friend.

and here what i was offer: asus A8N-SLI : http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=13423&vpn=A8N-SLIDELUXE&manufacture=ASUS

Yeah It
s an old AGP board, Ram is 2 gig IIRC. I'll have to check it out tomorrow, as I have it deep down in this Storage room I used to call my office. But I even have a ATI 800 Pro card I can throw in.

Just remember, Pass It on to someone else. When you get the chance, help someone else out, with a computer, pack of Hot Dogs, etc.

The Asus A8N-SLI is PCI-Express with dual graphics card slots using Nvidia SLI technology.

There are a couple of A8N-E boards on eBay for about $35, the A8N-SLI boards seem to be going for at least a hundred bucks, some for $200 (for the deluxe). So, $70 is a good deal.

i keep loosing money when i sell on ebay

, i did have another board but since i sell it and not sure if it would be good since it was older that the one i have.

he says that the board is 120$, i know that 70$ is a good price, will see this weekend if i can buy it, well i know he can wait for me

i have someone else who do have a card but will ask more info on it, there a computer shop that seem to have motherboard for 41$ but there no info on it, so i will call them and see what it is, it might be old board, there suppose to be new.

Don Karnage · « **Reply #12 on:** February 05, 2008, 03:22:41 pm »

the mother board at 41$ is not asus, anyway i decide to buy the motherboard at 70$, later i will get a video card that i can work in sli, my videocard can do it so another one in pci-e will do, just wondering doest the other card need to have the same ram?, my video card is a meg nvidia 6600.
