My friend got a mobo that is missing a "battery that does something for the processor

 

[ILoveFPS's424]

[ILoveFPS's424]

Would have to be a CMOS battery....

 

[macdude425]

Yah, a CMOS battery is the only thing it could be...

 

[ILoveFPS's424]

Thanks now where would i get them for intel mobo pentium 2,3,4?

[Counter-Strike]

He doesn't know what processor he has?

Well more than likely it is a p4...

Radioshack, computer stores, probably not Circuit City or Best Buy.

If he got a board that is missing the CMOS battery, I advise you RMA it...

I can't see a company just "forgetting" to install such a component unless they didn't bother with any quality control in the least way, shape or form
