Also which AMD CPU do you have and why would you want to trash it/sell it ? You'd rather buy Intel's dual or quad core processors? Quote
lewis Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 the mobo is asua a8n5x had it about 1 1/2 yr the amd cpu is 3000+ 1.8 mhz every thing esle works the 768 mb of mem 160 gb hard drive and the 128 mb pci express video card all works finds just the mobo went out newegg has a foxconn mobo for 43.99 and tigedirect has a msi mobo for 49.99 that is as high as i want to go at this point so what you think kept it or dump it thanks Quote
NIM Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 Depends if you want to upgrade or not, I'd stick with the new socket 939 Mobo since it supports 64bit AMD processors. If this board supports and I presume it does, PCI-E slots and DDR2 memory than you don't have to think twice, stick with it. 50$ really isn't much for a new mobo, but then again choose a good manufacturer, don't buy something wild. Go with Asus, Gigabyte, DFI... Quote
lewis Posted January 21, 2008 Author Posted January 21, 2008 i am not looking to upgrade right now but 939 mobo are hard to find i found one at tigerdirect.com a msi mobo for 49.99 not a pci e i can live with it for now have other agp video cards i have use msi mobo before have 2 of them now one 462s and one 754s i also found one mobo at newegg.com for 43.99 pci e by foxconn i have only had one mobo from them it's been a while back i am not sure which of the two is the best one to get i here msi has good boards and use 2 of them now had them for while foxconn not sure if they make a good board or not i was hoping to upgrade next year so just need mobo to get me to next year what do you think thanks Quote
