Hey all... now i know that these are getting phased out but i really need a replacement motherboard for my system and this time im trying to steer cleer of ASRock. I need a Socket A board that has a 400MHz FSB and SATA capabilities, the only boards i can seem to find only have the 333MHz FSB
what i mean is i need to find somewhere thayt actually sells the motherboards... i know what motherboards are good etc but theres no where that actually stocks socket a motherboards... well not ones that are of any use to me anyway im in the UK so if anybody knows of a good site form the UK or even outside of the uk so long as they will ship to me
Doesn't NewEgg, or TigerDirect ship to the UK? Computer Geeks ships internationally. http://www.geeks.com/ They still have a few Socket A mobos there...you could also check PriceWatch...they'll have listings of boards still available.
Hey thanks will, ill be ordering that motherboard on payday... along with a new hard drive and sound card
just an update, i went to a comp shop the other day and i asked if they had any socket a motherboards that had SATA and the 400MHz fsb i was after, and they had one (so i thought) it was an ABIT AN7 Nforce 2 board and it was £45 (which was ok i thought) anyway i got it home, put it in my case and when i came to plug in the SATA drive, i noticed there were no SATA ports, not only that but it had the wrong manual, no I/0 slot cover for the back of the case. IT wasnt even the same board as it said on the Box !!!!! The cheeky bastards had sold me a 2nd hand motherboard that wasnt even the one i wanted. obviously i went back and demnded a refund and had a good old shout at the guy whod tried to rip me off and i shopped them in for illegally selling the Threepay network sim cards so 2 warnings here, firstly check the contents of you motherboard box if you buy it from a small computer shop, and secondly dont try to sell me dodgy goods cuz youll end up regretting it
