    My Motherboard Shat Itself

    Posted · Edited by Dmac

    ooooh wow. lucky he posted here good info llama.

    hey dmac are you near a msy at all ? they have like rock bottom prices on heaps of stuff, have a look at this > http://www.msy.com.au/Parts/PARTS.pdf

    for a mobo. their addresses are up the top.

    edit.

    WOW, freaky lol. hahha. just saw your post. how much can you spend? what about Gigabyte M85M-US2H $99 from MSY

    so what have you got in your comp?

    Yeah im about a 20 minute drive from there. I bought a new video card about 2 days ago from there.

    All the new Motherboard needs to have is what my old one has, And that one i said has it all. Thats why i chose it.

    EDIT: Just compared that Gigabtye one to my old one. Seems pretty much the same? As in all my old hardware should be fine?

    To answer your question, Currently i have a AMD Sempron 3200+ CPU (Yeah i know, But it goes)

    2GB DDR2 Ram

    ATI Radeon HD4670 1GB Video Card (Which is not being used as the PCI-E Slot is dead)

    300GB HDD

    Hate to piss on your fire, man... but i wouldn't go near another ASUS M2N... There's been loads of reviews complaining about random restarts, driver conflicts, and general temperamental-ness... I was one of the lucky ones, mine lasted a year and a half, and screwed up a 250gb HDD on the way.

    By all means, go ASUS, but maybe try to find another model. I'd have a quick search now but i aint got the laptop for long.

    Oh and if you're upgrading your mobo, you'll want to do a reformat of your PC, back up all your shit before and stuff though... It's a good idea when you do a major component upgrade.

    The reason i chose it is because MSY (Where i go) only has a few Motherboards to choose from. Like, I don't want to have to buy a whole heap of new hardware for it and that Motherboard was close to my old one. Anyway, Heres the Parts List from them, If you know any other ones close to that, A model name would be great. All it needs to have is basically what my previous one has.

    Cool, Thanks. Just needed someone else to go over it to make sure im not missing anything here.

    Hows this, I want to get a custom case sometime and since my PC was orginally a Compaq (Everythings changed now, Like nothing is what it came with) i want to get like a custom sticker made up for it saying Dmaq (Yeah random) i thought it was cool atleast.

    Okay so, Me and my mate often drive down to the local shops, Or Mall to you Americans, To find ourselves bored.

    Basically, I want to know what you do when you're bored at the shops.

    Today i took my Foxtel remote (Cable TV) and changed the display tv's to Comedy channel and turned volume on full so South Park was echoing through the shops.

    Other then that i buy bouncy balls and bounce them into shops.

    What do you do to pass time if you're not buying anything.
