Motherboard discontinued now what?
I have a Gigabyte motherboard that has just stopped working.
Ive tested the PSU CPU RAM etc and they are all fine and the motherboard hasnt got any life at all for some unknown reason.
the board is 11 months old and is being picked up by courier on monday and they said they will give me a refund.
so in the mean time ive been looking at new boards as the one i have GA P41-ES3G seems to of been discontinued.
My old board ran off DDR2 was Socket 775 Intel Q8400 Processor and its hard to track down boards that will take those components.
I have seen one:-
GIGABYTE - Motherboard - Socket 775 - GA-G41M-Combo (rev. 1.4)
It says Rev 1.4 but the ones ive seen for sale either dont say what rev or say 1.2 or 1.3
What are the differences in Rev and would it be a problem if its an older Rev i buy?
also i know i can buy a newer board but they seem to all take DDR3 and that means buying new RAM which i dont really have the money for at the moment.
many thanks
