Topic: 939 Socket MB

Random shit pointing at hardware issues for me... possibly on board audio or my vid card. It's random lockups, reboots, etc. WoW was stable last night with USB headset only and lowest vid settings - but I'm afraid it's lurking to shit the bed. I should be upgrading, but with the holidays coming, money's tight.

If someone has an old 939 socket MB laying around, please let me know. Re-using my RAM and CPU would save me cash... would just need a new vid card then. Considering it's an AGP card, that's not a bad thing.

I think I might.  Will try to remember to check when I get home.

Sweet - if someone could recommend a PCIe vid card <$100 that would be appreciated.

Re: 939 Socket MB

I've not kept up with the latest shizzle, but this looks like a good deal:

I'd check for confirmation from someone more in tune with the latest jazz before pulling the trigger though.

Re: 939 Socket MB

Yeah, as we discussed... 9800GT for that price, too - about 10 bucks more for the radeon 4830 (thanks Errrrrr).

See if Schinn has something MB wise 1st - eBay had some great prices on Asus 939 boards. The PCIe 2.0 cards back compat to PCIe 1.x is sweet ass.

I may come out of this OK.
