i cant find compatible mobo
my brother bought an insignia comp from best buy last christmas. Now
unfortunately it does not come with a agp slot so we're in the market for a new motherboard. The problem i am running into is its a pentium 4 - 478pin - 400mhz bus. I cant find a mobo to support the 400 mhz bus, i tried one of the 533/800 ones but it didn't work. Any suggestions??? |

That shouldn't be much of a problem since there is always at least one company which hoards old equipment for needs such as yours. The first place I'd look for an old cheap mobo is GearXS. Take a look at this page and the few that follow it: http://www.gearxs.com/gearxs/default.php?cPath=75_105 I saw at least a few 400mHz-bus mobos on page 2. How does $32 including free shipping sound? -- John McGaw [Knoxville, TN, USA] http://johnmcgaw.com |
Try an ASUS P4P800 or one of the following:

I don't know insignia computer, but I would check connectors like power supply or system panel, wheather it's standard or not, before ordering. |

If your problem is finding a board to fit physically because your computer is not built to ATX format I understand. However newer Pentium 4 motherboards with 800mhz do support the earlier Celeron and Pentium 4 chips with 400mhz and 533mhz etc.I have resurrected dozens of early P4 systems with the newer 800mhz boards and when you can get a new Gigabyte board for $60 or $70 it’s a good way to go. -- Posted using the http://www.hardwareforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.hardwareforumz.com/Genera...pict59907.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).
