As a new zealander, i only know New Zealand sites so im not sure where you would look for a second hand lga 775 mobo Anyway, it will be a real tough job to find a decent one. Īs far as I know, socket 775 only support pci-e 2.0 but it is backwards compatible with 3.0. I'm going to murder whoever thought up that idea. I don't want anything fancy, just one that'll fit the new case. Can you possibly suggest a good mobo? Something for a mid-tower and will accept DDR2 and an intel Core 2 Duo E2700. And i may as well add an extra 100$ or so to my budget. So this means, that to fit the new case, i need a new mobo as well. So, there's a reason these new SFFs cost so much - there aren't so many of them.'Īaand cue violent swearing. Fitting 'normal' uATX / miniITX board will be close to impossible. Quoted: 'Dell SFFs usually use BTX / uBTX form factor, which is non-existent in retail. Found a thread that confirms that the mobo is propitiatory : So, thanks in advance, please ignore my overuse of the word 'So' to start my paragraphs, and respond quickly. The first person to give me good news gets a fake gold internet medal. And quite frustrated at the incompatibility of these parts. A new case is necessary as the graphics card i have chosen (Gigabyte GV-N75T0C-2GI) is too large for the SFF dell case. I should be ordering the new case within 1 month, but i'll probably postpone it if i don't get an answer. So i come here to either confirm my fears, or discount them. So, tell me, will i have to spend another 100(Eek!) or so dollars on another mobo, or buy a proprietary Dell case, which is larger (Which again, i don't want to do). I am hoping that this is not true, But i fear it is. aaaandd it says that, as Dell cases and motherboards are proprietary, they cannot be transferred (Motherboards). But then i found some dell forum questions. After a bit, i hadn't found anything that said it wouldn't work in that case. I thought i had it all sorted out, after choosing a new graphics card (refer to this thread: graphics card in question is the Gigabyte GV-N75T0C-2GI), I knew that i'd need a new case, and so i found one that i did hope would work - specifically the Cougar Volant White Mid Tower Case.īut i still needed to do some research. Depending on the motherboard, higher memory frequency may be supported.So. Types, maximum amount and channel number of RAM supported by Core 2 Duo E7200's memory controller. Some are specific to Intel only, some to AMD. Supported virtual machine optimization technologies. Processor technologies aimed at improving security, for example, by protecting against hacks. You'll probably need this information if you require some particular technology. Technological capabilities and additional instructions supported by Core 2 Duo E7200. Some can even double their declared thermals given that the motherboard allows to tune the CPU power parameters. Note that power consumption of some processors can well exceed their nominal TDP, even without overclocking. Useful when planning a future computer configuration or upgrading an existing one. Information on Core 2 Duo E7200 compatibility with other computer components and devices: motherboard (look for socket type), power supply unit (look for power consumption) etc. These parameters can generally indicate CPU performance, but to be more precise you have to review its test results. Basic microprocessor parameters such as number of cores, number of threads, base frequency and turbo boost clock, lithography, cache size and multiplier lock state.
