I have a Dell XPS 410 which has a Dell P965 BTX motherboard. I want to upgrade the motherboard and replace the CPU...but I cannot find any BTX sized motherboards with a 775 socket.
Here's a list of Intel socket 775 motherboards.
I've searched newegg and a few other places with no luck, where can I find a suitable motherboard?
Also, is it even worth the effort to upgrade just the motherboard & CPU on an older PC, or should I consider getting a bare bones system instead?
Update: The closest thing I could find is this: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=D955XCS-PB&cat=MBB
The only problem is the 1066 bus speed. My goal was to upgrade the motherboard so I could run a chip with a 1333 bus speed.
Haha yeah, well now I know. I decided to get a new case: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=4959967&sku=B69-9001&srkey=B69-9001
