Cheap MoBo Update

Recommended Posts

I currently have Epox 8k5a2 4x AGP MotherBoard with VIA chipset and ATA controller

And my friend offered me this MB:

Gigabyte 7N400s/l AMD Socket A 8XAgp (it has 8xagp, SATA, Nforce chipset,...)

For just a few $$ !

Is it worth it??????????

Thnx

The biggest question I see there is "Do you have a Socket A processor?"

You know, AMD doesn't make those any more. (old, out of date technology)

Around here, anyway, those who have one for sale are asking twice the original price for them.

You'd be better off with a newer Mobo that would take the new 64 bit socket 754 processor.

Just a suggestion......

I have a beautiful AOpen socket A mobo, but no processor and I don't want to pay $200 + for a socket A chip.

Good Luck,

Andromeda ;)

Where do you buy your things :P:blink:.

Upgrade to a S754 Sempron64 would be indeed a good option, you get SSE2/SSE3 and 64bit compatibility. only we are talking about let’s say 150 bucks plus a power supply if it has no PIV 12v connector.

Or, just take the Gigabyte 7N400s/l and tweak the s*** out of that S462 CPU ;).

p.s. AOpen S462 suc* by the way…
