Computer woes

[gemfyre]

Looks like the motherboard is gone.
This is bad. No WAY can I afford to replace that at the moment. Weird, because I don't think the water got anywhere near there.

jassa is letting me borrow FirstEvil for now, which is better than a kick in the face. It's an old slow computer so playing games is probably out of the question but hopefully I can still do all the essentials.

This WILL be a good thing. I will use all the time I'd waste playing games doing constructive stuff and exercise like things. *nods determinedly*

I still sure would like a nice new desk though... IKEA are having a sale, I must have a look.

You're welcome to the motherboard I've got for nothing if you want. I don't know whether it would take a 650, (as I said, was a 333) but chances are...

I had a duron 900. Only just upgraded it, in fact, to Athlon 2.4. Sadly, my MB is old and can only run it at a max of 1.7, grr. (Mum's now using the duron, which is why I have her old celeron. Kept it when I swapped it out for her.)

Next step is upgrading the MB again for me, so if you're still looking then, you can prolly make me an offer for this one. Has AGP slot, too. ;)

I may grab that and see what we can do with it if you're just throwing it otherwise. :)
