Did I make a n00b mistake?

oh.. so there are no Intel boards that have PCI-ex and take 478? I was screwed anyway? Guess I am stuck until I can send the 478 back for an LGA

This may also be a stupid question, but there is no "adapter" is there? I know old school celeries had adapters for certain sockets.

Did I make a n00b mistake?

Yeah.. I figured they'd be nice about it. I just need to decide which would be easiest. If I don't open up the mobo at all, I just assume return that. Be a cheaper replacement than buying a new chip at microcenter up in Cincy.. They seem to have some good boards that I should be able to pick up...

Did I make a n00b mistake?

Not due in until tomorrow. I am gonna have to drive up to friggin Micro Center and get a non-LGA mobo. That seems to be the easiest route actually.. Although I don't think newegg will take the mobo back(only exchange for same mobo).. I am so mad.. I know it is my own fault, but even the name of...

Did I make a n00b mistake?

So.. after being irritated that I couldn't find an AMD mobo capable of PCI-ex at a reasonable price.. I decided to sell my soul and go Intel.. The problem is, since I am new to Intel.. I think I overlooked something rather important, and can't even tell with hindsight if I screwed up or not...

PCI-Express slot mobo for AMD

**UPDATE: Well.. this experience has destroyed a longtime AMD fanboy. This is absolutely ridiculous that it is so hard to get a hold of a mobo with PCI-express capabilities. So.. I would have been spending roughly $290 for Athlon64 3000 and VNF4/Ultra.. Instead I am getting a Chaintech...

PCI-Express slot mobo for AMD

PCI-Express slot mobo for AMD

well the inherent problems are this: If I get a mobo that supports pci-express, 9 times out of 10 it will be a 939 slot. So will have to cough up the extra 10-15 bucks for the athlon64. But all the mid to high end video cards I am considering are readily available in pci-ex.. If I say...

PCI-Express slot mobo for AMD

Yes.. and now I can't get the gigabyte.. which may be a good thing.. But searching froogle, pricewatch, newegg, etc... VNF4/Ultra can be purchased for $130-150.. but always out of stock and closed buy it now auctions.. The other cards are either also out of stock, or way too expensive...

PCI-Express slot mobo for AMD

I am ordering the rest of my parts tonight. I didn't realize how scarce the options were for getting a mobo that has PCI-express slot(s) for AMD chips. I am getting irrate. I have to get a mobo, chip, ram, and video card tonight.. (building 2 pc's total, have one mostly done.. deciding to go a...
