Got any extra motherboards laying around? Mine old, but not busted so i can't justify buying a new one. Lol

You be sending me one as soon as you hear my CPU speed……… 1.6Ghz Single Core. Lol

[gcs8 10]

Ouch dude, and no not really, sorry. Computers are cheep, go get one lol.

[bassahaulic 155]

I don't want a cheap one. Lol. I have this one cause it was free, custom built a few years ago by a friend.

Ill upgrade to better parts when I feel the need. I can still do everything I need, including HD video editing. :-)
