So my old mobo fried and my tower is a big mammoth.
I'm looking off craigslist for a cheap but half decent mobo. Which means i'm also going to need a processor.
Couple questions: if my old processor was intel can the new one be AMD cuz i found some AMD Athlon x2's for bout 50 bucks.
Also, once i get the new mobo and processor with the cooling sealed on......what then? I heard I have to run BIOS, how do i do this? just turn on the comp?
Pretty much I know it's not as easy as just putting in a new mobo with processor and turning it on, and everything being there like it was before just faster n better, right? or is it? what will I have to do give me short simple steps to running a new mobo and processor and getting my computer up and running like normal. :nerd:
