| 489493 | 2006-10-06 04:02:00 | This old PC's Motherboard (P4S333-VM) is fried. Looking for a replacement. It is using Intel 1.7 GH/256/488 CPU - this is what printed on the CPU. Socket 478 ? Preferrably an ASUS MB. I know this is a old mb but recommendations will be appreciated. Budget: <$150.00 Cheers |

| 489494 | 2006-10-06 04:12:00 | Theyre pretty hard to find now. I was pretty lucky to replace this old crap SIS based mobo I had. Lucky a shop down the road, had a cheap ASUS mobo for $70. You can have this P4S8x-x. The only thing is it lags. But works. |

| 489495 | 2006-10-06 04:43:00 | I don't know much about this stuff, but if it's old and not available to buy retail anymore, have a look on TradeMe. You might just get lucky. | Fishy (10540) | ||

| 489497 | 2006-10-06 07:43:00 | Thanks guys. Not necessarily to be the same model MB, as long as it supports the CPU with onboard sound and video. |

| 489498 | 2006-10-06 07:45:00 | Thanks guys . Not necessarily to be the same model MB, as long as it supports the CPU with onboard sound and video . The P4s8x-x is a 478 pin mobo . It has onboard sound but no onboard video . You have to install a PCI or AGP videocard . |

| 489499 | 2006-10-06 08:01:00 | Thanks, Speedy, but I do prefer a MB with onboard sound and graphic - not prepared to spend tooooo much on an old piece of thingy. How about this: ASUS P4S800-MX(SiS661FX)? Does it support my CPU? BTW, how do I know (or find out) whether it supports this CPU or not? Cheers |

| 489500 | 2006-10-06 08:12:00 | It supports 478 pin (www.asus.com) I would stay away from SIS mobos. They're crap. As I said in my previous post, SIS chipset motherboards lag, and you'll notice it. Only thing with onboard video is if u want it for games, forget it. They havent got enough ram, which is why PCI or AGP is better. |

| 489501 | 2006-10-06 09:03:00 | How do I identify the CPU's socket? The identification number printed on it doesn't tell what socket it is. How do I identify what socket it is? |
