Looking for close match to ECS board!

[Mr Davo]

Hi Everyone,

I have an ECS GeForce6100PM-M2 motherboard installed in my computer which is running Windows XP (SP3).

I would like to replace this motherboard with a gigabyte board, however I don't want to start from scratch and reinstall Windows.

I am looking for suggestions regarding a gigabyte board which is a close match (in terms of chipset, etc) to my ECS, in the hope that I will be able to physically swap the boards over (without having to reinstall Windows).

Here is a link to my existing board:

Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Davo

There are lots of 6150se chipset boards that use ddr2. I've used both biostar and msi 6150 boards. Newegg has had them under $40 in some of their email promos. Check the specs carefully; some of those use newer ddr3.
