Need Help

kiz

Hey all first post in a very long time. Supprised the account is still here.

If anyone knows anything about motherboards please could you help me out. I need to get a replacement for my current motherboard, but I want to keep my current CPU and RAM.

The mother board needs to have a PCI Express slot on it.

Here is the CPU type and RAM type

PROCESSOR, 80531, 2.6G, 128K, 400, CELERON, DECISION ONE
DUAL IN-LINE MEMORY MODULE, 512, 400M, 64X64, 8K, 184

The reason for this is that I got a new Radion X850 Pro and there is now way in hell that I'm sending it back.

Thank you in advance for any and all help given

A Celeron 2.6G is a socket 478 CPU motherboards that feature that socket and a PCI-Express slot are not exactly common. Dabs have such a board but it is not in stock.

To compound problems the Celeron is a very weak CPU and will inhibit performance of your graphics card.

You would be better served by buying a new motherboard & CPU.

Ok thank you very muchly ^^

will i need to replace the ram if i buy just any motherboard or would it work with any motherboard do you know?

That depends are you sticking with the Celeron or getting a new CPU ?

If sticking with the Celeron & going with that motherboard you will be able to retain your existing RAM.

If you are getting a new CPU you need to check to make sure your memory is DDR400 [PC3200] if not then you will have to buy some (even the dirt cheap stuff will do). Various socket 775 Intel & all current socket 939 AMD motherboards support DDR 400 however some Intel boards support DDR2 just watch out for those as then you would need DDR2 RAM.
