My folks' motherboard has fried on a system which I built for them about 4 years ago, specs as follows:
CPU: AMD Athlon II x2 255
M/B: Asus M4A88T-M
RAM: 4Gb Corsair XMS3 Classic
PSU: Akasa AK-P450
HD: Samsung 500Gb SATAII
My questions are: is it worth just replacing the motherboard? If so, what modern motherboard could house those components? Should I just start from scratch with more modern components, or should I just get them to buy a pre-built system?
Their usage is e-mail, internet, a bit of photo editing etc. The normal parent stuff. Oh, and the occasional webcam with family.
Edit: The Windows 7 license was an OEM one, so I probably couldn't transfer it to any new machine, might just be able to get away with new M/B...
