Hey all

i am replacing the mobo in my dell taking it out of their case due to crap cooling - so i need a mobo that support RDRAM 1066

This seems to the best board out there for what i need Gigabyte 8IHXP

anyone have one that they are willing to sell for a decent price? preferably not overly used and fully working?

my best payment option would be neteller - www.neteller.com (same idea as paypal but like them far better)

Hi,

You might encounter quite a few problems in replacing the motherboard in your Dell machine. Dell constantly design their own non-standard motherboards, thus, trying to replace or upgrade one is problematic.

Most of the cable and pin headers are non-standard and more alarmingly the pinouts for the Dell proprietary "ATX" power supply is also wired differently. Which can be fatal to all standard ATX boards.

You will have to change to power supply as well as the motherboard (that is once you've managed to find out that fits properly.
