Hey, long time reader first time poster.
I have come to the conclusion that my mobo has died after 3-4 years of happy service, my question is about replacing it - should i buy exactly the same board again (seems the safest because i know it works with the components) or is there a newer alternative that may be more appropriate - I'm not even certain that my old board is available anymore.
any advice on what to take into account when buying a new board or what might be a good board for my other hardware would be great.
my system as it stands is:
CPU: intel Core 2 Duo E8400
GFX: 1x GeForce 9800GTX+
RAM: 2 2gb RAM modules (corsair dominator 1066mhz ddr2 cm2x2048-8500c5d)
PSU: 600 watt (http://www.inpc.com.ua/data/product_f/psu/fsp600-80gln.html)
the now deceased mobo i was using is an Asus P5N-T Deluxe.
Thank you very much in advance
