I see what your saying but you know me well enough after all these years & the last thing I'd do is grab "some sis" board in a casual fashion. Could be the greatest thing since sliced bread but it's more than I want to go through.
Appreciate the thought but this is a EoL patch-up to give the kids that would not have cost me this much if I had simply suspected the PSU to begin with. Shit it would not have been an issue if the Antec scumbags had built the PSU right or at least stood behind their steaming pile of excrement. CW wrote: > Yes, I'm being serious. Ok, let's say $78 is the max you want to spend, and you have a new AGP video card you want to use. Fine, you can grab an AM2 with AGP (they exist, SIS) for about $33. Grab an AM2 Processor for $35, and a stick of 1G for $10. Bam. You just spent $78. And you ended up with a LE-1150, yeah, a "blah" board but you support your video card, and off you go. > > Sure, you'd still be cooked to find out it was your power supply, which is a given, but on the other end, your DDR and other components (like the Asus board) would sell to make up about 1/2 the distance. > > :) > > I'm not talking about spending a ton of money.. but an LE-1150, a chip you can grab OEM for less then $35, would be easily the equal and superior to a Sempron whatever SocketA, the board wouldn't be, but you'd keep the AGP card so who cares, and you'd get better SATA, USB, etc. support. > > Just saying, if your budget was $78, the combo is out there ;) > > CW ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo!
