Hi guys,
My Turion64 notebook's motherboard is dying, and since replacing it
costs more than another notebook (which I already bought...), I'm
hoping to use the CPU in a little media-center/file-server box.
Does anyone have experience of using Turion64 CPUs on desktop boards?
I'd prefer Mini-ATX or smaller. From what I've read it's just a E6
stepping Socket-754 processor, so any board that supports that
*should* work, but I'm not finding any boards that list support for
Turion64 CPUs?
Thanks
It can be very hard to separate motherboard, CPU and memory problems
(*). Just in case there is a CPU problem (which there might be in
addition to memory and/or motherboard problems), you might want to run
memtest86+ on the new set-up for a few hours, perhaps overnight, to make
sure it's solid.
(*) Yes, I know you can swap out memory to check if it's faulty. This is
best avoided as a bad mobo can damage good memory IME.
