Duron or XP?
Seems I fried my Duron motherboard. :?
I get Base 64K RAM failure (using this for help...http://www.computerhope.com/beep.htm)
Believe it is my motherboard because I have tried everyting else.
RAM is fine, tried with and without a GFX card in.
Now is it worth trying to flog off the CPU on eBay to try and make something back on it? (Paid £50 for 512Mb RAM, PSU, Duron 1800, 4.3Gb and mobo)
I know at home I have an XP system (unless my parents have sold it/moved it/using it), XP 2500 I think... Now I dont want the entire system because I have a case, PSU, GFX card, sound card here etc so will only take the mobo (maybe the RAM) and CPU...
Do I bother to spend money on a new motherboard for the Duron? (because I wont be able to run both)?
Or better still, buy a new motherboard and swap the XP and Duron chips over?
Main use will be DC'ing and it'll be powering a media center.
Was looking at this one:

Unless others can recommend a better one?
Aah what to do...
