Hi all,
I have an old ''workhorse'' computer thats been sitting in the living room for over 4 years, its full of rubbish tbh but is hooked up to a fairly decent printer and scanner and its on a network so I leave it on so I can print from my decent PC. My wife and boy use it quite a bit but its forever crashing and freezing, so what I would like to do is pimp it up a bit and do a fresh install and maybe speed it up and overclock it a bit in the process. I would like to replace the motherboard and GPU but keep the same ram HDD and of course the P4 2gig processor. Can anyone recommend a decent available Mboard & GPU for this old processor? I did have a programme called lavalys home edition which I cant get anymore and I am ashamed to say Ive no idea what board a P4 2gig uses
I think I remember the Mboard is a microstar 745? does this sound right? I would rip it apart to look myself but its still in use by the family, im gonna do the upgrade in a couple of weeks when the wife goes away..
thanks
