Howdy,
first off, I would like to thank anyone and everyone beforehand for aiding me.
I am on a limited cash flow. so using most of my existing parts,(300-700USD)
MoBo: Fic VI13
Processor: x86 Family 15 Model 2 Stepping 4 GenuineIntel ~2399 Mhz(2.4chip)
VC: BFG GeForce FX 5700LE, 256mb
HD: 40gig Maxtor(freebie ^_^)
RAM: 184pin ddr-dimm, 1gig ddr333, 2700. two sticks of 512.
this is my first "Home Made" computer, truthfully I had no clue what I was doing when I first built it(whats the fun in knowing, no?) but its ran so far without a problem. just how it is becomming a little dated.
I am going to try and change out the MoBo for a newer one. that can still use all of my parts, ie, same chip, ram. etc if I can. if not. much as I can.
also.. I have OEM of XP home. will I have to reinstall xp if I change out the MoBo? and if so.. will my OEM copy still work for it. or do I need to buy another copy(*hopes not*)
I have been looking around for an intel D875PBZ board. they any good?, I got my first board as a board/chip combo.. any clue if the Intels do the same?
Again, Thank you, Domo Atrigato, and Danke for any and all help you give.
