I need a new motherboard
My motherboard etherport was recently fried by lightning. Fortunately, the
whole computer was protected except for the motherboard and the lightning fried the ethernet port. Of course my housemate Monty's computer was running and 100% fine and he did not even have a battery back up like me. My housemates Brett and Mark were not at home in Albuquerque, NM at the time. My fried motherboard is an ASUS PS800D-E Deluxe - UAYD and was made in Taiwan. The serial number is 42MGON282. Please advise as far as a replacement board of the same type that will fit in my system and have all the features of this motherboard and more. In addition, it must be compatible with 98 Second Edition. Thanks in advance for your help and do not mind me if I am not posting for a few days since I will be going on vacation in Colorado. Bye all! Have a nice day! as I always say :- |

I need a new motherboard
I could but I need this baby (system) working at full capacity for security
reasons. Thanks Buffalo. I think 98 guy suggested a cool motherboard a while back and hopefully he will post. In this case the economics are not a factor.

Go to "Newegg.com". Search their MBs. and find the one that is most
compatible to your's. Even if you don't buy from them you can get the name of the one you need. "Dan" wrote: I could but I need this baby (system) working at full capacity for security reasons.

Be sure to read up on that before you make the upgrade. For under $20, you can get a PCI ethernet card. |

Yeah, newegg.com was where I bought my current computer gear and I was happy
with their service. Thanks poatt. "poatt" wrote: Go to "Newegg.com". Search their MBs. and find the one that is most compatible to your's.

I need a new motherboard
Thanks, I will take that into account. I already have another ethernet card
as a backup that works but I need a new mb for security reasons and in case this board was damaged in other ways. Just trust me, Buffalo but thanks for trying to save me money.

Thanks for the reply. I kind of figured that you were worried about other damage to you present MB, but I just wanted to make sure you knew that there could be problems with switchhing to another MB, usually due to the chipset. Hope all works out well. |

Okay, here are the specs. from the old motherboard
http://www.ocworkbench.com/2003/asus...4s800d-e-1.htm (anyone can click above link and author has tested it for safeness but makes no guarantees the link will bring the person clicking it to the same safe site it brought the op) "Buffalo" wrote: Dan wrote: Thanks, I will take that into account.
