hey all....long time no talk. I was jw if anyone had any old motherboards that their willing to sell for a cheap price. Something that can do 1.2 Ghz or higher. Because right now my computer is slow with 500 Mhz. Well post back on this or PM me if anyone does.

Hmmm, I dont have anything that would help you out too much sir but heres a thought, the prices are based on Canadian dollars so the deals should be even less down there.


You can buy inexpensive boards for around $50 (or less) something like an ECS K7S5A for example. You can purchase a cheap AMD CPU for this board, Durons are $50 - $75, Athlon XP's 1800+, 1900+, 2000+ are around $90 - 100, and ram is cheap, chances are good you will need new ram. 512mb of ram up here can be had for $80.

That still adds up to $225 or more, but you will have some fairly decent hardware to work with.

Dont know if this information helps or not but hopefully it does.

I have a P4 2.2 ghz processor and a Leadtech A250 video card I can part with (www.hothardware.com/hh_files/S&V/leadteka250ultragf4ti.shtml). A bit off topic but perhaps if your looking for a deal on other stuff to upgrade I can be of assistance?

I used this mobo in all the low end systems I built/sold last year and out of 18 machines I have not had one problem. IMO the best "cheap" mobo on the market today.
