Secondhand Gigabyte rocking horse poo

[Softus]

A long shot, but does anyone have a working one of these that they don't want anymore?

Gigabyte 8S661FXMP-RZ

 

[solo]

Can't help you there, but I've got a spare one of these. Got given two at Xmas.

 

[Softus]

Is that a socket 478 mobo?

 

[solo]

Sorry no. It's the 477.5.

 

[Softus]

Which half pin is missing on that one?

Whats the situation Softus?

Are you requiring the exact some model of board? (size constraints, etc?) or would just about any socket 478 board do? (I should imagine it would be quitye easy to pick one up secondhand on the likes of ebay, etc)

Or have you considered a budget upgrade if worst comes to the worst?

Whats the situation Softus?

Client's machine; squiffy mobo; everything else fine.

Are you requiring the exact some model of board?

Not requiring, but preferring.

(size constraints, etc?) or would just about any socket 478 board do?

Any micro ATX socket 478 board with two IDE ports and an AGP port and an 800MHz FSB.

(I should imagine it would be quitye easy to pick one up secondhand on the likes of ebay, etc)

Yes, but ensuring CPU compatibility is a minefield, and I don't have the time, although I haven't tried using the "wanted" feature for it. Hmm....

Or have you considered a budget upgrade if worst comes to the worst?

Yes I've offered that option.

Thanks for your help.

Fairy snuff...

if you are unable to source an identical board, then at a quick glance this would seem that this board would meet the other requirements

... Unless I've missed something?

 

[Softus]

Hmm, I don't think you've missed anything. I'm impressed.

I'll let you know the outcome if you're interested.

 

[Deluks]

In the same vein...

 

[Softus]

Thanks for that, Deluks.
