Motherboards

[Luke]

Hello

My current motherboard is well er ****!. So I'm gonna save up amazon vouchers I earn from surveys and buy a new one, although, I know what I'm looking for, I don't wanna get a crap one *again*. So i need your guys help.

It needs to hold 775 socket duo, 2gb ram PC2-6400 and 2gb ram PC2-5300. I'd also like it if I could overclock on it, as my current can't (v. anoying.)

Many Thanks
Luke

You shouldn't be mixing and matching those RAM speeds as a little FYI.

Look at some of the ASUS and Gigabyte boards, stay away from the Nvidia ones IMO.

You can get it on ebuyer and amazon:

Why not? The PC-6400 modules will slow down and be underclocked to run at the same speed as the PC-5300s. No problem other than losing a bit of potential, probably unnoticeable speed.

As long as you get the same brand of RAM you shouldn't have much of a problem
