Biostar P4M800-Pro-M7 VIA P4M800 Pro 1066Mhz Socket 775 mATX Motherboard for $39.88
Build your next Socket 775 motherboard with this Biostar P4M800 Pro-M7 mATX Motherboard! It features the VIA P4M800 Pro + VT8237R Plus chipset and is equipped with two 240-pin DIMM sockets with support of up to 2 GB DDR2 of system memory!
Get ready for fast gaming and DVD playback with integrated VIA S3 UniChrome graphics. Listen to high fidelity sound with the Realtek ALC655 6-Channel AC97 audio and network with the Realtek RTL8201 CL 10/100 LAN.There are two IDE and two SATA ports for connecting hard drives or optical drives!
Don't buy this board! It is completely out of date! I don't care if it's $40. I was just perusing Newegg this morning at AM3 socket DDR3 motherboards for $60-$100.
Be warned it only supports 2GB of DDR2 RAM, and has no PCI Express x16 2.0 slots (which is needed for nearly all new graphics cards), and only has two SATA ports. This would be a great motherboard maybe 6 years ago!
I purchased a p5kpl-cm from micro center for 40$, which is the same price... and 10x better. 4 slots, 5 sata ports, gigabit ethernet. ect.
It would be acceptable for a low spec DVR. Though, as Nothingman stated, just because it's inexpensive doesn't mean it will save you money in the long run. The more you use a DVR (WMC7 for example) the more you will try to pump from it. In a year you may find yourself fantasizing of a quadcore +4GB, which will render this useless. Plus, if you ever find yourself wanting to get HDMI you'll have a tough time shopping for a decent priced PCI/AGP card. CNR is fairly useless.
If building a desktop, move on. This will just scrape by today and be unbearable by tomorrows standards.
Ooooo, a whole 2 GB. Rockin'!
P.S. This fall, vote Kerry/Edwards! Down with Bush!
Must have found a box of these in the warehouse eh? Maybe you'll move a few at $9.98... maybe.
These babies have an overheating problem. Then, when the BIOS tries to post, they just keep restarting. Seen way too many of these fail and lets not forget they came out about eight years ago. They should be giving these away as door stops.
Not to knock an effort, gearxs, but this is the second ancient, over-priced, POS you've posted in the last few days (that old chestnut Optiplex being the first). What gives? You really aren't doing anyone any favors with this stuff.
