    £50 motherboard?

    Having recently got my AX78 refunded (after the supplies returned it for the second time with my blob of paint still in the same place and the same faults) I need to find myself a new one.


    £40-50 inc vat, but not delivery.

    Must be:

    AM2+
    5200mhz
    Support for PC-6400, 4gb RAM (or more)
    Available.

    Suggest away... just not an AX78.

    Re: £50 motherboard?

    Does it need to be full ATX or can it be uATX? There are plenty of 780G or new 8200 baords for around £50.

    Re: £50 motherboard?

    doesn't matter tremendously, but would prefer ATX

    and my problems included things like RAM slots not working, random failures etc.

    Oh yes - and must have PCI-E 2

    I forgot I have a HD3650 sitting around :S

    Can't see you getting everything on one board, all the options I can find are either a) more expensive, b) uATX (and come with a warning about top end processors) or c) is the aX78

    Personally, I'd say get the same board, you were probably unlucky the first time around.

    What about this> Computer hardware and software at amazing prices, available online from Scan Computers UK

    Bit more expensive but your not going to find any better ATX boards besides the one you don't want.

    Re: £50 motherboard?

    You should have a look at the Biostar range, very hard for us Biostar fans in the UK to source, I missed out the Biostar TA770 A2+, TF560>NF61S Micro>Biostar TF8200 A2+ my current board with my be5000 as per my system, superb board £46

    Buy Biostar TF8200 A2+rubbishTF8200 A2+ from CCL - Online Retailer of the Year 2007 & 2006 for laptops, desktops and computer hardware
