Hello there, my motherboard recently cracked and needed replacing, so i replaced it...
this computer was a gift from my father and he bought the computer directly from gateway in late 2002, it is a gateway 500 series computer, and since the motherboard cracked and i replaced it, the computer had a dramatic "speed" decrease, it is hard to run even Warcraft III now, if any of you know what that is, i have a GeForce mx440 video card and 512mb of RAM, and before the replacement i had no problems whatsoever; i know i installed it correctly etc... im at work rite now and i cant check the model # of my new motherboard but i can post it when i get back to my apartment
(using windows xp)
so in conclusion -
before new motherboard=FAST
after new motherboard=SLOW
so could some1 please enlighten me as to what the problem could be? it is very frustrating =/
thx
