I just got parts for my PC today and I asked for a
'GIGABYTE GA-K8NSNXP-939 Socket 939 Motherboard *K8 nForce3 Ultra chipset *2000MHz *ATX *5xPCI *1xAGP 8x *4xDDR Dual Channel (max.4GB) *Dual LAN Marvell 8001 Gigabit & ICS 1883 *Realtek ALC 850 Sound *Silicon Image 3512 Raid * CK8S nForce Raid *DPS *DualBI' I got that from Dragon PC

I went and got the parts from PCU though and I was given this one:

Albatron Socket 754 Mainboard K8Ultra-V series.

I dont think they are the same, but im not sure.. Does anyone know?

Thanks
Mike

317843 2005-01-25 07:17:00 I doubt that they're the same mobo. Theyre different brands and different pins. Take it back and ask for the one u paid for. Speedy Gonzales (78)
317844 2005-01-25 07:18:00 Ok, thanks Tribomb (5547)
317845 2005-01-25 07:47:00 Well for a start the processor wouldnt work. socket 939 is newer than socket 745 therefore the 2 are not the same Edward (31)
317846 2005-01-25 08:39:00 ... COmpletely different. ~sy~ (95)
317847 2005-01-25 08:41:00 If you are taking it back, is there any chance to get an nforce 4 mobo? Supposed to be a worthy upgrade.... Curious George (3535)

You say that you got the motherboard from Dragon but then got another motherboard from PCU plus other parts.

What motherboard did you buy and from whom?

I am confused.

The two motherboards are different.

317850 2005-01-25 10:39:00 I got the list of hardware from Dragon the day before. I came back to ask for the parts but they were really unhelpfull and rude. So I took the list over to PCU and they got the mobo. They seemed to have changed the CPU to the 3400+ rather than 3500+ meaning they are compatable with each other (the mobo and CPU) I dont know if that is good or not. The CPU has gone down 100 :eek: to the 3400. Is the mobo i have at the moment (Albatron) any good? Tribomb (5547)
317851 2005-01-25 10:47:00 I would take the processor and motherboard back and ask for what you wanted... The 939 pin configuration of the Gigabyte motherboard will allow for a future processor upgrade if required - there are many 939pin AMD64 models available but only a couple of 754pin. HadO (796)
