i need a motherboard

silvafish · 22-February-06, 06:28 PM

Well, my dell optiplex gx260 mobo shorted out or something, so, i need a mobo that takes DDR266 (PC2100) memory, socket 478 Intel processor....i have the memory and the processor and all the other stuff, it's just the mobo.

I am not sure but I think that that model uses an odd form factor mobo. I think that you need an original mobo, and your best bet would be eBay.
If I am wrong, there are quite a few motherboards out there that would fit the bill. ASUS, Abit, DFI and Gigabyte are considered the top mobo manufacturers.

I would verify the form factor issue first.

if gets to that point... it would be cheaper for him to buy a 35$ case with a power supply...

silvafish · 23-February-06, 06:32 PM

by teh way, i'm getting a new case too with a power supply, i didn't mention that. Also, AGP 4x.....or 8x or both.

THRiLL KiLL · 23-February-06, 06:45 PM

then dont bother getting the same mb... just get one that supports your processor

You gotta watch out with regular PSU's and Dell Mobo's. Switch something out and you'll be seeing 5V to Gnd and poof!

okay, here it is, i'm going to be getting a new case with a new power supply, and on here, i'm looking for a motherboard that fits my specs. I have the memory, processor, everything except the board. I need a board that takes pc2100 memory, socket 478 intel processor prescott, ATA100 at least, AGP 8x, and it can be micro.

dont bother with looking for a board that "supports" pc2100 ram any pc3200 board should support it

on another note i have a board out of a sony vio system in a nother case with a diferent psu and it boots without a switch and refuses to shut doen

Well, i found out, that, the processor in my optiplex is a northwood p-4 instead of a prescott...crap. So, before i found that out, i was looking at these 2 mobos:

http://www.mwave.com/mwave/viewspec....iteria=BA21930

How much junkie would you give me it for if you kept the processor in it?

modding_junkie · 27-February-06, 07:11 PM

i have no cpu for it...

just the mobo nothing else it can handle any 478pin intel cpu

silvafish · 27-February-06, 07:27 PM

alright, i'll buy it from you. It's in good condition right?

FuRI0 · 28-February-06, 04:33 AM
