I'm trying to find a motherboard that doesn't cost $40+ for a second gaming machine I'm building. I found a board for cheap, but alas it arrived nonfunctioning. At least the seller let me keep the CPU.
At any rate, my problem is finding a board that meets the specs I need, namely:
- AGP 8x
- internal audio header (Intel HD or AC'97)
- internal USB header
- four DDR RAM slots
- 800MHz FSB
- onboard sound
The kicker seems to be finding a board with four RAM slots and an 800MHz FSB, since those specs were generally only found on higher-end boards...which means that the boards on eBay are all overpriced.
If you think you can help me out, let me know. Thanks.
