I hope to get my computer back tomorrow

Post by BENCHMARKMAN »

Hopefully I will get my computer back tomorrow if nothing else goes wrong. I had the mobo replaced, after something went wrong with upgrading to an XP2200, then they found out the CPU was bad. Wish me luck. <p></p><i></i>

Well I got it today, tuesday. Yeah I will never go back there again. They "accidently" forgot to put my sound card back in and replaced it with a 56k modem. Also they forgot to set my FSB to 133 to my 1.33ghz cpu was running at 1ghz. <p>Asus A7M266<BR>. T-bird @ 1.33ghz<BR>. 256mb PC2100 DDR <BR>. Ati Radeon 8500 LE @ 275/275<BR>. Windows Xp</p><i></i>

Benchmarkman, seriously, you need to learn to work on your own stuff. It's not that hard. Kind of like plumbing. <p></p><i></i>

Yeah I could have fixed it but lets see new mobo, which the price of this one was $300 and can only use that one cause case was altered for that specific size and a new cpu $85 which equals $385 or under warranty for free. I could have fixed it but its a little cheaper the other way <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /smile.gif ALT=":)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> . <p></p><i></i>
