Where can I find this Asus motherboard?
Hi folks!
The motherboard inside my computer died on me yesterday. I can't afford to build myself another system. So, I am looking for the same motherboard to replace it. The motherboard is ASUS P3B-F. It is about 4 years old. I went to ASUS website, but couldn't find it there. Is there any motherboard wholesale or depot on the internet that might have this old motherboard in their stock? Thanks in advance! |

Just look for one that will support your type of CPU, memory and your type of add on cards (ISA, PCI, AGP) and go from there.. Hank |

Thanks in advance! the suggestion to try ebay was a good one however if you end up not being able to get the identical board if you can find a similar board with the same chipset your transition should be fairly smooth in the very worst case you can do a repair installation (or install-over) and keep your system pretty much intact (though you;d have to reapply your updates) |

I don't blame you for wanting to replace it with the exact same model. The other plus is that you'll be able to boot right up without the usual conversion hassles from one mobo to another (even to other models with the same chipset). I just did a search on ebay and am happy to see that you can even obtain a new one! |

wanting to replace it with the exact same model. The other plus is that you'll be able to boot right up without the usual conversion hassles from one mobo to another (even to other models with the same chipset). After experiencing and getting used to solid ASUS motherboard stability and performance, it is hard to settle for less. I built my computer 4 years ago or so, and used Pentium III 500Mhz CPU with 384MB of memory. Compared to other computers with 2 or 3 times faster CPU speed such as 1.5Ghz, my system with only Pentium III 500Mhz performs at the same speed. At this time, I can't afford, but if I could, I would like to build myself a new system using Asus P4C800-E Deluxe (The motherboard has built-in sound and ethernet card) Pentium4 3Ghz with 800Mhz system bus (cpu) IBM Deskstar 180GXP with 120GB (hard drive) ATI Radeon 9800 Pro with 256MB (video card) 1024MB of memory HP DVD Burner I just did a search on ebay and am happy to see that you can even obtain a new one! I just did a search on ebay as well, and already started a bid on P3B-F. Thanks for your help. |

If what you gots is an Athlon or Duron processor, get an el-cheapo ASROCK K7VT2 mobo or and ECS K7S5A. I'd recommend the ASROCK which is the budget Asus version. Should do nicely i would think. Both boards take either DDR or SDRAM. And support Athlon & Duron Chips. Please TRY and know what you're talking about before you post... For the OP: try ebay Please TRY and point out what part of what I have said is incorrect? |

After I retired my trusty P3B-F about a year-and-a-half ago, I bought an Asus (of course!) P4B266 with Intel's i845D chipset (the first Intel chipset to support DDR. The motherboard has "only" a 400 MHz FSB (not 533 or 800), but I've got 512MB of Mushkin "black" memory with all memory settings cranked to the max, and a 2.4-GHz P4. Like you, I prefer ATI over Nvidia, and I have a 9600 Pro. I'm going to keep my present system until it croaks... and I'm going to take very good care of it so that it doesn't croak for a long time. I'm not a heavy duty 3D gamer but, when I do play (usually with my son), I run at 1280x1024x32 with all/most of the eye candy turned on. I can't imagine needing more power than I've got now! I can only imagine what a 3.0+ GHz P4 w/ an 800-MHz FSB and a gig or two of 400-MHz dial channel DDR must be like... but it's way more than I need now! ;-) I just did a search on ebay and am happy to see that you can even obtain a new one! I just did a search on ebay as well, and already started a bid on P3B-F. Thanks for your help. You're quite welcome. Good luck. |
