Hi,
I'm looking at the possibility of using the guts from my DELL C521 to build a new machine (new case, psu, etc).
The DELL cost quite a bit at the time because I maxed out all the customisations (Sept 2007) and still performs excellantly but the motherboard has developed a fault with the PCIe x16 slot.
The new base needs to take my existing AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 5000+ 2.6 GHz processor, even better if it could take a more up to date processors as well in the future.
What types of mother board should I be looking at, i.e. what socket type is this CPU ?
Any other advise is appreciated.
Thanks
