Looks like my sons Motherboard has failed.

It's a Gigabyte GA-8ISXT-FS. Trouble is, this is no longer made, so he's looking for a modern day compatible one (not neccessarily a Gigabyte model)


Gigabyte

His CPU is an Intel 2.8Gb

Can anyone suggest a current motherboard that he can re use his CPU (and other peripherals) ?

Many Thanks.

Assuming the case can hold a mATX board, then this one should work:

If not, then this one would work:

Thanks for the advise guys, I'll be looking into the 2 boards recommended.

And thanks for the timely reminder about re activating Windows, I'd forgotten that little challenge.
