Dell Dimension 3100 Motherboard replacment.....SUCcSESs!
Ok i Actually managed to replace a dell dimension 3100 motherboard reason being it only has a pci-e X1 slot
what i needed was a X16 slot
i did research and found out a Intel mobo couldn't do the trick but a Dell GX280 Motherboard could!!
I purchased it from http://centrix-intl.com/details.asp?productid=1084
Later when it arrived i installed it (fit perfect except for one usb port)
Updated the drivers and got a graphic card in there
Drivers needed (all can be found on here http://support.dell.com/support/dow...a&l=en&s=gen&SystemID=PLX_GX280&os=WW1&osl=EN)
-Bios
-Sound
-thats all
