You are merry that is all.

Edit: The craigslist post is a rip off. You can get something better for about the same price or a little more.

ECS is a crap mobo brand too.

Here are better (and cheaper) ones from Gigabyte and Biostar.

Ow at the geforce4. On the other hand it would probably respond faster in windows without the ridiculous UI theming. And props for using seamonkey.

Ow at the geforce4, ew at seamonkey, and the theme won't make any difference unless its some 3rd-party program.

webhead: The gigabyte mobo, can you search for the Cpu that goes with it for me? =D

It tells you right there, it takes a socket 775. Leaves you open to a lot of dual and quad cores. I use a socket 775 Q9450 quad core and it has been outstanding for 3 years so far.

... assuming that the original mobo link capo posted is exactly what he needed, socket-wise. I just went by that.

MOFO · « **Reply #11 on:** March 15, 2011, 10:01:05 PM »

<3 Seamonkey. and the theme i got from a friend. but eh. it looks cool. =). my buddy's giving me a his old dimension 8400. so i'll show how that goes performace wise and see what he upgraded on it.

You can get a decent video card for about 50 bucks just in case that one doesn't work out. A lot of the nvidia 9 series cards are cheap now.

capo, if all you need is a new mobo, do you not want to use the CPU that you already have? I mean, if not, then your mobo choices are wide open.

^ Except to consider the RAM too

MOFO · « **Reply #15 on:** March 16, 2011, 10:12:51 PM »

I should have known someone would point that out.

I thought about putting it but then thought it was obvious or not as important, I guess -- cuz if he uses his existing CPU, he might also just use his existing RAM.

MOFO · « **Reply #17 on:** March 16, 2011, 10:46:47 PM »

does the the type of ram depend on the cpu. cuz i'm really not sure if its that or the motherboard in general

webhead · « **Reply #18 on:** March 16, 2011, 10:53:28 PM »

It's kinda both, I think, but mainly the CPU. I kinda need to brush up on that as I'm not 100% sure, but you could probably find out from Wikipedia or Google in general.

MOFO · « **Reply #19 on:** March 17, 2011, 01:29:00 AM »

wikipedia is crap. half of there information is false.
