Asus and DFI are two brands that are highly recommended by gamers.\n\nRead for expert and user ratings on websites like Tom's Hardware Guide (THG) and CNet.com for the specific one you might choose.\n\nI own an ASUS a8N SLi Premium, and it is really good. Go for Asus.

some companies buy a motherboard, as well as other parts and will upgrade them..Try going to a local PC repair shop or a loca Radioshack and ask them what they think...You could try to Donate the Whole computer to the Salvation Army, You will get a tax deduction.

If you are not sure about which RAM you need, or you do not know your motherboard model, then you can do a system test at  - \nwww.crucial.com\n\nIts called system scanner, the link is here - http://www.crucial.com/uk/systemscanner/\n\nThis will identify your system and give you all the compatible/available options to ugrade..\nIts a nice tool, obviusly you dont need to buy it from there..... you just need to find out what you need..........

Well, there is Abit for one, Gigabyte, MSI, DFI, AMD, EPOX and the list could go on, but, instead, just google the term "Motherboard" and look for yourself, or, I have included a link to follow. I have used those listed above, as well as ASUS and Intel and probly a few more. I have not built a system in a few years now, so, I would have to research those that I have used before I built again. Good Luck

Again, we have people trying to answer questions they know nothing about. The problem you have is the technology for this board has become outdated and ASUS doesn't support it on their website any longer. I would go back to their web site and use the "Contact Us" information to force them to give you the specs on your board. It could be listed elsewhere on the internet, but I can't find it either.\n\nHere is the link for their contact information and Motherboard support team.\n\nhttp://support.asus.com/contact/contact.aspx?SLanguage=en-us

Does the motherboard work , if not do you know what is wrong with it ?\n\nIf it works , you could sell it on ebay or a similiar place, give it away to friends or family.\n\nDepends on circumstances, maybe you could give us some more info regarding the motherboard ie make , model, does it work or not, if you are trying to sell it, how much are you trying to get from selling it ?  etc etc etc

You would need to get a hold of Gateway...but I am sure they would not be of much help. All their motherboards are proprietary and only work with special memory, power supplies and cases.\nYou cannot upgrade it...do yourself a favor and get a new computer.\nI was working on a piece of junk Gateway Performance model from the year 2000. After the hard drive and CD burner went out and were replaced, the power supply went out and it ended up that the damn motherboard literally went up in smoke. \n\nAlso if you want to upgrade in the future get a computer that will allow you to with standard components.

Hello:\n\nYour existing Mother board may be satisfactory at \nsome higher speeds. You may find this information out\nby downloading SISoft Sandra 2002 free off the internet.\nWhen it is installed, do a scan of your computer and \ndetermine what the system motherboard is exactly. Then,\nyou can do searches on the internet for the details on that motherboard and what its maximum CPU capability is.\n\nWith that information in hand, you can go to TigerDirect dot com and look for an upgrade chip that will produce the desired increased speed result.  In some cases that upgrade might require you to also install faster memory which might be an additional cost.\n\nNow, with that information in hand you can move to searching for a new MotherBoard. First, the new motherboard must be compatible with the Case Style of your existing computer. That means your new board must have the same mounting holes and connector placements as your old board. So you will have to find out what style board you have now. The site where you research info on your existing board will have that information.\n\nSecond, the new board you select will not do much good without being equipped with a new high speed CPU and Fan assembly. Look for one that is a great deal faster than your old system so that you can wind up with a big improvement. You will need new RAM Memory for this \nfaster system. Get as much memory as you can afford. You can always go back later and purchase additional RAM to speed up your system operation.\n\nHard Disk Drives have dropped in price and expanded in storage capabilities. So, you might want to also check out adding a new hard disk drive...100 Gig or 200 Gig drives are not uncommon these days.\n\nOh, one other little trick you might want to investigate is a front panel module which lets you insert memory sticks from cameras, mp3 player cables, or portable memory devices. Those panels are pretty cheap and add new capabilities to your system that you have not had before. It is really crummy to have to plug these things into the back of a computer box. Why not have the jacks or slots mounted right on the front of the computer where you sit? that makes much more sense.\n\nLook for a knowledgeable computer tech near you to assist with all these changes.\n\nHave a good day.\nZah

use any motherboard you like

You mean, you want to upgrade your BIOS.  Changing it to something else is out of the question, one motherboard uses one and another uses another, similar they may be, compatible with each other they are not.  You will need to get the latest version of the BIOS from whoever manufactured your motherboard (one would be Asus) then you have to flash the new version of the BIOS to the motherboard, again, they will have instructions on how to do this.

It really depends on what the motherboard will take, rather than the CPU.  The best thing to do is get the computer brand and model, or the motherboard brand and model and call a company who specializes in memory upgrades.  I've had good experience with www.BuyMemory.com.  They will help find the memory you need and are super cheap.

Stay away from the cheapest ones (PC Chips, etc) I have a fondness for Intel chipsets because I run Intel chips. GigaByte, Intel, and MSI all make good IntelCPU boards and I have personal good experience with them. For AMD CPUs I'd stick with Asus or MSI although I have heard good things about DFI LanParty boards
