Need a socket A m/b

Post by jforth »

Noticed some swollen caps on m/b while upgrading my vid. to a radeon 9500pro in my K7S5A/Athlon Xp 1800 combo.Works fine for now,but the writing is on the wall.Money is tight can only afford to replace board.New or used m/b is fine.My options:

New:
-ECS 741GX-M SIS 333 MATX AGP8X - $75.00 Can. shipped.

Used:
-Biostar Motherboard M7V1G-400,with case and 350w psu- $60.00 Can. shipped
(used only 2weeks)VIA KM266 Pro

-Epox 8RDA+ retail box all accessories - $70.00 Can.shipped
DDR based NF2 (18 mths old)

ECS m/b has warranty,but only goes up to 333 bus semprons,Epox nf2 board,faster,cpu goes up to 400 bus.The Biostar m/b,only 2 weeks of use,like new,but like ECS m/b only maxes out with 333 bus semprons.Any thoughts?Thx.

Wow not one reply,guess my pc is just too old for people to give a damn.Thats fine,I thought someone here might have some useful insights,guess not.Good-bye PCA,hello RedFlagDeals,hello Rebel Haven.Got more help there,and I'm a newer member there than I am here.How sad.Well it was fun,this was one of the first places I became a member when I was a noob.I can't remember what the old name of this place was.What was it again?I remember playing TacOps 1.6(U.T mod.) online with 33.6/56k modems and it was sweet.But like Tac Ops good things must come to an end.

Even though it looks like it's too late, I'd go with the 8RDA+ myself.. Not everybody scans every header of the forums anymore, so it's possible they just didn't see your post. Hope you do well in all that you pursue..
