Bad news about my PC.
by ☠ ~ Aɳɳ ~ ☠ Tue 27 Aug 2013, 13:25
Hello everyone!
A few weeks ago my PC stopped working. Well, my father had a chance to look at it and as I expected, the motherboard is a goner.
I'm a little disappointed, mostly because I've been sim-less for too long and my laptop doesn't run it due to the graphics chip. I have 2 more pc's here, and I'm hoping I can combine the hardware so I can at least run TS3 with 1 EP or SP.
It'll be fun, lol.

Hello,
A new PC has been overdue for years, but I haven't been able to afford one. I'm looking at 2 other pc's, one of them has a power supply that no longer works. I'm not too thrilled about it's motherboard, but it has a 2.6GHz CPU which is a small step up from the one I had. That one has a graphics chip rather than a card which I'm not thrilled about, and I'm not sure my GPU is compatible. It only has 2 slots for RAM. That means I can only have 2 GB RAM.
The other pc works fine, but it only has a 1.9 GHz CPU. It has 3 slots for RAM and an outdated graphics card. Very outdated. I think I can use my GPU on this board.
My father thinks he also has a left over motherboard that is supposed to be about the same age as my original motherboard.
Since the other motherboards all have Intell CPU's, I think I'll stick with the 2.6GHz intell celeron. Then the choice is between the motherboard my father has, and the one I have here.
So basically, I'm going to build a "new" pc with old hardware.

If you can get me the specs on the MB that died I may be able to find you a low cost replacement and/or a compatible upgrade. I have rebuilt a ton of PCs using "old" parts that work just as well as a brand new system for 1/10th the cost.

Hello Dracos,
This is the board.
I'll see what my father has before letting you go through the trouble. Perhaps he has something that is good as well.
