Hey all! I recently rebuilt and upgraded my whole system. In doing so, I started building my father and mother a "hand me down" system with the older parts. This was by no mean a "junky" system, but what was going to be a simple build is turning int a nightmare... long story short: I had the intel core 2 duo e6600 paired with the asus pn532e-sli board.. when I removed the old bracket for water cooler, I basically destroyed the board... I know, I know... so now my dilemma: I have great ddr2 ram, a beaut of an old chip, and some other various parts with no board! Can someone recommend a board? I've seen it said that socket 775 is dead...but I love this chip! Can it be saved? Or should I just scrap it and upgrade the folks to a cheap newer chip (and board and ram an...etc..) ??? They do very basic computing, with the most complex tasks being my mother's spreadsheets for school.. help!!
Thanks in advance,
Matt
