| 317842 | 2005-01-25 07:08:00 | Hi 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) | ||

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) | ||
