I have no idea if you have a manufactured PC or a homemade PC. If it is a manufactured you cannot change the mother board unless you replace it with another mother board from the same model/series computer. This obviously means that you are still stuck with the same computer that you started with. For a homemade PC it depends on what type/form board you have in it. Newegg has tons of reviews that with a little time spent reading will reveal their secrets.

Just for your information, I just started getting into the "Hobby" of computers two years ago. I asked a few questions, but only after I researched what I was looking for(sometimes well over a month) because I knew that I needed to understand the answers I may get. In most cases I never needed to ask the question as I had already found my answer and much, much more.


I see a theme developing here. (see below)

Most the the members of this forum are using this Forum as a escape form the world of Tech support, not as a place to continue it. There are plenty of other Forums out there for each of the questions that you are asking(just try looking). The people on those Forums will give you the detailed answers that you are looking for just by doing a search of the posts that are already there. I have found that the more you read on a topic the more you discover. You can never solve all your problems with a simple answer, so you must learn, learn and learn.

"Your question about processors kind of showed us that you aren't fluent in geek speak about hardware...you were provided a couple of links that could help...spend several hours/days there, its enlightening."

I know you don't know this, so I'm telling you so you do know: asking us a question this big is flat-out rude. Its like walking into a forum of doctors and prodding them for free medical advice. Its the reason no one was answering you the first time.

But now you know, and as G.I. Joe says....

Oooh. Double post. If you're here wondering why you can't get into your account, consider the above as evidence as to why its been deleted. We've tried to be patient. We really have. But patience has an end and you were younger than our terms stipulated from the start.

Via con dios, Llama.

Mifta,

I dont mean to piss you off by reresigstering. I had a few last comments to add before my final farewell. Also, i know i may have pissed you off but i dont feel like i needed to be deleated, just sent a nasty PM stating that i not say another technical stupid anything or i will be deleated. It caught me off guard big time. and i may have been younger when i originally started this forum but i am not now.

Everybody,

Yup i guess i didnt see, get, understand the hints. I have learned from what yall have said to me as computer shit goes. so i learned and learned and learned and i have been doing my damnedest to learn, but i now understand that this is not a tech forum. All in all i belive that i honestly made one mistake and that was the brokeback mountain joke that mifta removed. as far as posting technical question, yeah they may not have made sense at times or i left to much of an explanation for an answer but i didnt do anything wrong. i posted the question where i belive it is ok to post question like this and they were nothing bad.

No im not baggin for you not to delete my new account, and this time in life it doesnt bother me one bit, i have found a few tech forums, and as of now i will be spending every minuet with Excels VBA editor, Flex 2, and getting the family buisness website up and running the rest of the way....HappyShak....so again my apologies, you can hate me or not...but have a great night

GoodBye

I'll put it to you this way Llama. The decision to axe you was not all my own, nor Bio's. I think most here felt like we had reached the end of our collective rope with you. It is time for you to go.

You've had your chance to say what you claim will be your final goodbye. Good, fine. I didn't delete it. There it is.

But I have no interest in playing forum Whack-a-Mole with you for the next several months, so please let that be your last re-register. No, you don't need to create a new user name to respond to this. All you need to do is just go. Really. Delete the bookmark.
