Alright, so I need some major help with a computer.
Ill explain my situation
I have been wanting an XBOX 360 for a while since most of my friends have one and the games are phenominal IMO. My brothers computer has not been working since christmas
because of an outdated graphics card (no longer has drivers availible). We have a GeFore 8800 PCI Express Graphics card for him and a 22 inch LCD monitor that he got for christmas
that he has not been able to use for a long time.
I need to know which parts to get in order to get this new hardware working. We CANNOT return the hardware because of holiday deals and we need to update alot in his computer in order
to get it running this hardware
If I figure out what parts my mom needs to buy for his computer, she will give me the same amount that she spends on the parts to me for an XBOX 360.
SO i figured id turn to my favorite computer tech forums for help.
I know we need to get him a:
New motherboard with PCI Express
Maybe a new processor (he has a AMD 2000+)
and probably some other stuff to get it running right.
I need to know what kind of motherboard would work and a cheaper one that may be reliable. This may be asking a bit much. I know. I just need to make his computer work and maybe impress
my mom.
Please, if you can, help me find what i need to get his computer to run this new hardware. It will be Extremely appreciated and may even make a boy's dream come true.
He has a A7N8X-X Asus X-Series Motherboard its an nForce 2.
I dont know anything about Motherboards or processors, all i know is that we need to get him a PCI-Express slot in his motherboard and a processor that is compatable with it.
Thanks guys!
Telll me any information you might need
