Mobo and processor

[laserblazer]

I need to replace the mobo on a classroom computer. The hardest work it does is play a dvd. What's the best price/performance option at present. Intel processor preferred with on-board graphics.

945GC based MicroATX

1-2GB Ram

Pentium E2140/2160/2180 or Core 2 Duo E4500

You just need to replace the mobo, or you want mobo+cpu+memory etc?

Sorry I didn't make myself clear. Mobo and processor. I only intend putting in 1GB or RAM. A recommedation for the mobo model would be handy.

[ChrisC]

That also leads onto do you want to keep the existing case? if so what type atx, micro etc?

Cow's milk or goats? It's an ATX case. I think I'll go for a Foxconn P4M9007MB and Intel D E2160. Suits the budget.

Yea, foxconn sounds fine, I wouldn't personally go for a dual core cpu for something that's only lightly used

 

And Cows, tried goat's milk and really didn't like it, I think it was one of the "hip" things at the time....
