Hi there,
My computer seems to finally have died, its a problem with and old P5K getting tired of PC2-6400 memory. Essentially it won't POST anymore, the original problem can be seen HERE
OK, so the deal is, I'm happy with this computer's performance, and would happy to buy the same components again, but of course thats not a possibility.
I need a new Mobo, and while I'm at it, I'm happy to freshly start with new RAM - its not clear to me how much the Mobo has fried them. Ideally I'd keep everything else to save expense. I'm not really looking to overclock, just reliability.
So the rig is in my sig.. I need LGA775 socket.. P35 have kindof died and gone, right? Has PC3 finally overtaken PC2 in cost and all?
The PC is Dual boot XP/Linux 32 these days, so 4GB is prolly where its at - The computer sits on all day as a remote linux CFD solver.
So, I'm afraid I've been out of the loop for a while, what are my options?
Thanks for any help!
