Motherboard recomendations, solutions or ideas
I bought a bare bones recently and neglected to see if there were
windows ME drivers with it. I just got a new mobo a year ago for my system and encountered no problems. I did find some ATI drives to try . . but want to have a "plan B" in case this doesn't work out. The computer is for my wife, we only see each other twice a month, so I want to get it solved quickly in case these drivers I found won't work. MOBO: ECS RC410-M LGA775 DDR2 PCIe x16 SATA HP MOBO Chipset: ATI RC410 and ATI IXP450 (onboard video, sound, usb, lan, etc.) Made for HP with their PN 51885464 (nothing but W2K and XP Vista drivers on the HP sites) CPU: Intel Celeron D 347 3.06Ghz LGA775 533 Memory: 512mb Pc2 5300 667mhz Ddr-2 Dual Channel I did get it up and running slightly with really poor graphics and windows insisting on trying to load a fire wire driver then bombing each time it did. I didn't have the heart to try loading the drivers I found because I'm not sure I could reverse the process if they don't work out, and it would leave her without a 'puter for two weeks. This week I have the beast here with me so will try to put it in my case and load ME and configure it with a spare drive I have laying around. Any recommendations or sites that might help me get up to speed on this would be appreciated or failing all that, a recommendation of a suitable motherboard that uses the same processor and memory. (and she needs an IDE/ATA connector or two) -- |
