I had an intel 865GBF motherboard, it had some trouble and has to be replaced now. Thing is that the dealer said that he could replace it but he would suggest i change it for a intel 875 motherboard. I have 1GB of 400MHz of RAM and a graphics card and a sound card.
Is is good to do it or do i stay with the 865
Can someone give me the approx price of the 875 board also
THankz
if u are commercial worker then take a latest bord as suggest by him else stay with old and new bords price are changing continuously per day with fluctuation of 300 to 500 .
and untill i know its near arroun 10000 if it original
ur just changin ur mobo
since u did well with the 865 .. i suggest u stick to the 865
theres no point in paying 1k more for an 875 ...
it might have extra features ... but i dun think ull be even using them since u were happy with ur 865 ( i presume ofcourse )
if u were upgrading things wouldve been seen differently !!
also like i said 875 is 865 on steroids ... however supporting the same processor , ram .. etc technology wise
it perfroms a lil better yes .... but again ... not worth it for just a change in mobo .
Thanks alot
Yeah i am pretty happy with the 865 guess i'll stick with it
suppose if u gonna using ur system for designing purpose you can go for D915 board which rocks for designing purpose. Suppose ur not on the designing line stick on to 865 board.
DUDE
hes just changin the mobo
if he changes it to 915 he'll have to change his processor and graphics card
he aint upgrading his system !!!
where do u get ur info from ?
I am also using D865GBF mb, mine had problem when running 3D games, it simply restarts the computer.
However, I downloaded latest Intel Extreme Graphics 2, and also latest BIOS update from Intel website!
Though these day I have not installed any 3D games, but the system is working fine.
i suggest you to download lates BIOS and Extreme Graphics2 from intel website.
I am not using the onboard graphics i have a ATi Radeon 9800 Pro the problem was with some component on the motherboard
GO for the 875 MOBO its MUCH BETTER than the 865 any day this is a God sent opertunity please grab it.
