Posted March 16, 201411 yr Edit: Got a new motherboard and cpu, need help finding some compatible DDR2 Ram for it https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=A68D8FCA27AE23DF!2700&authkey=!APajV-vaAYNoJq8&v=3&ithint=photo%2C.jpg
March 16, 201411 yr I gots lots 'o ddr2 I just couldn't afford shipping.(2gig sticks, like 6 of them)
March 16, 201411 yr Kels, is it possible for you to ship them within US? I am sending the package to Ricardo (CPU with heatsink, CD/DVD burner and some ram-unknown speed), I could put it together in one box.
March 16, 201411 yr Author Thank you guys Currently stalking ebay for motherboard deals, found a ($32) MSI MS-7507 and a ($40) Intel DG35EC. I think I will use my adf.ly $aved and go with the cheaper MSI, Edit: located a cheaper intel, may go with this one because it supports up to 8GB of ram
March 18, 201411 yr Author WOW you guys, found an even better one (INTEL DQ45CB) at the same price (difference is it can handle up to 16GB of ram, 6 vs 4 sata ports and can do raid)
March 18, 201411 yr Nice find! ps.I PM'ed Kels. I guess we just need to wait for him to get back to us. Edited March 18, 201411 yr by dareckibmw
March 18, 201411 yr I would send you some parts Rick, but the last time I sent you some parts shipment costs were hilarious
March 19, 201411 yr Author Thank you SO MUCH guys!!! Here is the final tally: Intel DQ45CB motherboard, Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 and (I think) 2x1 GB of DDR2 Ram To replace: ASRock P4VM890, Intel Pentium 4, 2x1 GB DDR1 Ram The thing I love about the DQ45CB mobo is that is has NO legacy crap: PS2, Serial, Floppy, IDE (current DVD-RW needs adapter, hardly ever use it anyways) and the built in graphics are more than enough. Hopefully they arrive before my step father comes home (he does not know when he is coming but it will be soon. Update: He is comming this Tuesday)
March 26, 201411 yr Author Good news! I got my new motherboard and cpu today (she is a beaut) https://onedrive.live.com/redir?resid=A68D8FCA27AE23DF!2700&authkey=!APajV-vaAYNoJq8&v=3&ithint=photo%2c.jpg Unfortunately the memory did not. I dont know if it did not get there in time or they forgot it at home... I am sure it will turn up, there is no rush really
March 29, 201411 yr Author Can somebody explain why DDR2 ram is more expensive than DDR3? Been searching for some here where I live and I am surprised by this, for a 2GB stick: $51 DDR2 vs $31 DDR3 http://issuu.com/lasificadosdelcaribe/docs/edici__n_730/3?e=1085923/7271623 Its not just where I live, I checked on ebay and its not cheap... If anybody has some DDR2 sticks of this type kicking about it would be HUGE help for me here
March 31, 201411 yr Author Thanks, another friend told me yesterday he would also check and see what he had. Will let me know soon
April 1, 201411 yr Sorry, I have only one DIMM DDR-2 1Gb... I have some SO-DIM DDR-2 if you need...Regards... ;-)
April 16, 201410 yr Author Great news guys, got all the parts and got her up an running, finally have a nice mobo in my baby
April 18, 201410 yr Author Now I am trying to add WiFi to it, I got this PCIe adapter but it did not come with the screws/mounts to mount the card... WTF china? Does anybody know what these screws/mounts that are supposed to go here are called? (right now its only the empty holes where they are supposed to go) BTW if anybody has an old laptop WiFi card sitting around (or because they updated to AC) and would maybe consider donating it. I am currently saving my adf.ly bucks to get a Intel 6250 (because its the oldest still being supported/updated in the proset wifi driver pack, it can do both 2.4 and 5.0 GHz and I currently have an older B/G I grabbed off an older laptop)
April 18, 201410 yr @RickI don't think that those holes are for the screws. It is mounted with one screw (first pic) right on top. Its screwed into the box.
April 18, 201410 yr Author I have tried but you cant screw into the holesI have see the mounts I am referring to, they go thru the holes, they have a nut on the underside to hold them and a female hole that can receive a screwThis one has them soldered on, this one has screws long enough with nuts for the back, but they are not the ones I talk about but similar... Will keep looking for a pic of them Edit: aha! this card comes with the hardware I am talking about, you can see them on the side there, the nuts to hold the gold female receivers and the screws that can go in them
April 19, 201410 yr I have to agree with Dareckibmw. Shouldn't this card just be insterted onto the MBO slot and firmed with the screw on the back of the case?
