Time for a new motherboard. So....

Is there a place better than Best Buy? PC is a couple of years old.

tigerdirect.com, newegg.com

no big box store will be able to compare as far as computer components go.

Be sure you get the right type of motherboard to fit your case.

[pstall]

Yep. So if I bring my own mb they will install? I got some top secret stuff on that baby and don't want to lose it.

You only want a motherboard? I consider getting a new mb as getting a new computer. You have to know what you have now so it'll all work with whatever you pick out. Memory, video/sound card(on-board? pci express?), cpu, hd interface, etc.

ounce you figured out what kind of MB you want, look for it on pricewatch.com.

Newegg is awesome though.

pricewatch FTW

I was going to write this huge explanation on stuff but heres the deal - you will want to redo your OS at the very least. If you want help let me know.

I used to go to pricewatch all the time but stopped after having a few bad experiences with the various sites on it. You might save a little bit here and there but better customer service outweighs the headaches you'll ultimately get at some point. Newegg has great prices anyway - the savings are usually trivial imo.

pricewatch is also great for finding barebone systems with a new O/S already installed. This is a great option for people to get a new case, motherboard, processor, memory, decent HD with a new o/s already installed.
