motherboard for XP pro & ME

by mech174 May 21, 2005 9:26AM PDT

My ECS motherboard went out and would like some recomemdations on a replacement. I don't want raid, tv out or such items if possible. System used for playing online rpg games and old dos games not supported by XP. I want a good board that's not way up in price. Thanks mech 174

http://www.newegg.com select mobo's. You can search by mfr or virtually any other criteria you would like. You may find the exact replacement for yours if it is not too old a model.

Twould be nice if you knew something about the CPU and memory type that you are using.

[if reansonably recent vintage] is not affected in the least by which operating system you want to use. The CPU, The memory type and the video card type will determine the mobo type.
