Hey everyone, i want to know if it is possible to replace my motherboard within my gateway DX4300-22 desktop.(click to view specifications) I currently have a foxconn RS780 motherboard.(Click to view specifications). I want to upgrade this motherboard with something better such as a Gigabyte motherboard(click to view)
Here are some of my concerns:
1) I heard that windows 7 is installed into the original motherboard, so if i change it, it will boot up without an OS?
2) Will the new motherboard fit in the desktop?
I realize i have to get DDR3 ram and most likely a new PSU.
Thanks a lot.
