Solve : I need some help with my motherboard...?

Answer»

I am FIXING up a computer, it is a HP Pavilion 6350 and an AMD K6 2/333 processor. I installed XP on it (it had Win 98), but after I installed XP everything was really SLOW. So I contacted a HP tech and asked if I could upgrade the processor, to which he said that there is no processor that will go faster on this computer. He then told me that I should replace the motherboard or buy a new computer. I did not want to buy a new PC so I called a local computer repair shop and asked how much it would cost for a new motherboard to be put in. The guy told me it would cost $100-200 for the motherboard, then another $100-200 for the processor. I was ok with that, but then he told me that he would have to be paid $250-300 to do it, that is when I said no thanks. So I took out the board, but I cannot find out which board to get to upgrade it with. All I can see on the board as a sign of who made it is "SPAX REV 1.01". If you can TELL me where to go to get one or what type I need, please post.Jasoncomp .... Well it might be an IDEA to decide which processor you are planning on installing ..........then you can find a mobo which will support that processor .......
You should also consider what type of ram is in the old pc ...   Could be wrong , but I think 2 x 128mb  of SD Ram .........is the max it will take ....... Could be a big mistake to sink money into that box .....

If you are used to working on pc's you can find some bargins on E bay .

If it was mine ..I'd put back in the old board ........and install win 98 on it and SELL it on E bay .....or in a garage sale .....

Precisely. This computer is not worth $ 200 - $ 400.
