Apologies for remarks I made before I did a brief lookup of the combo you suggested. I does as you've said have the graphic component. I find that unusual if not unique for Intel but haven't tracked the Ford vs Chevy discussion for a long long time. Again, my error.
Uninfest is an interesting term for it but I know what you mean. I'll look at those Start programs again which I had done on a previous exploration of upgrading. Hard to let go of some things. Thanks for the reply. As to old (December) vs new inquiries on the same thing, chalk it up to...
Your point on wasting money investing in a new but out of date system is well-taken. It's just my ignorance on the topic. But I would not want a high end motherboard on the prospect that it would go through a lot of upgrades. Somehow in the tech world it's more likely that obsolescence...
I appreciate the time you are taking on this. I suppose I'm looking for confirmation on something I've decided on. I no longer speak Intel "as a dialect" -- just have no interest in it. It's just a mental block trying to switch out to that product line.
Why has the Athlon 3000G gone...
Thanks for the tip on those Startup emulators. I have a sample Win10 to try that out. And I'll go over the motherboard CPU info. Other than the Athlon 3000G what would be the entry level A4 cpu which has onboard video? I do no gaming and for this build, just want enough to replace older...
Thanks for answering. Ok, past the Windows 7 problem what is a budget motherboard for use with Athlon 3000g? I have seen the MSI A320 series. You see, I'm used to not messing with video at all. My old PCs (on a homenet workgroup) all have onboard video. I have no need of more for news...
I am on the fence about what budget motherboard for the AMD Athlon 3000G cpu. My first look was at the MSI MSI A320M-A PRO AM4 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Newegg.com
The crucial element for me is running Windows 7 Ultimate OS with no requirement to run Windows 10.
Also if there is a...
Thanks for the replies though I was expecting email notifications (had to reset password too.) I will look at the how- to on slimming Win 10 but I find YouTube mouse pointer videos nearly intolerable. Can you recommend some print version with screen shots in a step by step manner?
This is a legacy question because I am the legacy sort having older gear now failing. I am cautioned that motherboards of newer vintage may have compatibility problems with Windows 7 requiring driver updates and whatnot. I am not knowledgeable in all that. My newest board is old by current...
Another thing on my want list is a socketed BIOS chip.
Talk was elsewhere that they are all socketed after such and such time. Not here.
Mine is solderend in.
I saw a great youtube on flashing BIOS chips that includes the process of removing
a soldered-in one. The guy was using a USB EEPROM...
I just started looking at this kind of tech and upgrades. Not surprising
since it's a lot of retro builds. But I am still in the retro era with
a few MSI boards on Phenom etc.
