been a while since been on here, but as your talking about building pc's on this thread thought i'd add a question myself. my motherboard is "FUJITSU SIEMENS D2190-A S26361-D2190" been told it's a bit weird or summat! anyway question is could i buy another motherboard with a PCI-e express slot bang my processor in it and slot it back in it's casing???

bit like reviving old topics here eh Smiffer..... what kinda processor has your pc got, cant find much details about that mobo.

smiffer · 23-10-2006, 21:30

Motherboard:
CPU Type Intel Pentium 4 524, 3066 MHz (23 x 133)
Motherboard Name FUJITSU SIEMENS D2190-A
Motherboard Chipset Intel Grantsdale-G i915GL
System Memory [ TRIAL VERSION ]
BIOS Type Phoenix (03/17/05)
Communication Port Communications Port (COM1)

Thats from an Everest report not highly educated in pc stuff. Got an 128mb nivida card in a PCI slot. But been told thats about as good as you can get without having an AGP or PCI-e slot.

you got a Socket 775 processor so your in good hands there... you can use any board that you want really

but then seeing the board that you got I guess you got a tiny tiny pc?

if so you can try this board: http://www.ebuyer.com/UK/product/117611

thats a skt 775 board isnt it?
So the answer is yes if it will fit in the case. If not buy a case

Zing, the pc he got is 1 of the smaller units of Siemens if I'm correct on this, so the micro atx board that I gave should be correct.

but then again if not I stand corrected :P

Smiffer if you could gimme the model number of the unit then I'll be 100% sure which mobo you could go for.

1 thing you deffo have to remember that if it is micro atx, then the only cards you can get are "LOW PROFILE" cards.

ok model number?? will that show up on everest or will i get it from else where?? the "micro atx" means diddly squat to me i'm afraid!!!

DocDutch · 23-10-2006, 21:48

Smiffer, model number of the unit is normally at the front bottom of the base unit http://www.fujitsu-siemens.com/Resou...2028937308.jpg it says at the front Scaleo P

otherwise what is the size of the unit

23-10-2006, 21:53

There are breakthrough clans its just a lot of the leagues play spearhead and have done for longer. Breakthrough only really brings a couple of different maps and the Liberation game type

smiffer · 23-10-2006, 21:55

and how you know that fanny was my mothers sister???? think you;ve been doing this too long your getting pyshic

23-10-2006, 21:55

lol lol

smiffer · 23-10-2006, 22:00

so as its scaleo P i could swap mother board for one that has a PCI-e slot or would AGP be better does it make any difference??? would anyone else bother doing this??? just that games like battllefield 2 don't work too well and i'm guessing this is the kinda thing i've gotta do?? correct or utterly wrong??

23-10-2006, 22:02
