Hi freeze4real

i would need some more information, as i don't know where you use these motherboard as they are very old in design terms.

The First motherboards is 2002-2003 design, ie extremely old ( doubt these be sourced easily)

The Second is a 2007 design motherboard ie fairly old

Is this a replacement parts for a old pc system or new system.

if your looking at a PC your thinking of buying a PC online, link it here and i'll do my best to help you

thanks for the reply is this just an upgrade from the old motherboard that I use.

I use apc with a Matsonic9357e motherboard with a 320gb baracuda sata hard drive along with a AGP ati radeon 9550 graphics card.

hi mate , sorry for taking so long , i would need the make and model of the cpu and your ram,

Download this cpuid program if you have a working system ,




you might need to do a rebuilt as it might be not worth upgrading the motherboard.

The motherboards you were looking at yesterday were for a AMD , your motherboard is a Intel .

what do you mean by the above ?

I have downloaded the program.

How can I take screen shots so as to upload it here.

thanks

Run the program
Then look in the cpu tab,
look for the processor name .(highlighted in red in the screenshot)
write that down and post it up here.

if your using window 7 or vista, there is a built in program called snipping tool

In window xp there isn't one built in , but there is a free program called snippy .

from my research Matsonic9357e this seems to be the boards you siad you have in your pc.

This is a intel motherboard, which is completely different from a AMD motherboard you quoted earlier

You can use Print Screen to take a screen shot.
It's a button on your keyboard usually named PrnScrn.

Press it and it copies the current screen to your clipboard,
then open paint or any other photo editing program
Paste into paint and you will see the image
