[blake robinson]

hi guys i have had this computer for about 5 years now and am upgrading it and right now i am looking for a good upgrade from the motherboard i have right now which is a ms 7525 and was wondering if someone could help me with picking the right one and providing some more information on the ms 7525 such as the socket number and things of the sort here is a picture of the motherboard i basically need one with the same slots as the ms 7525 but with 4 ram slots instead of 2 and all the sort basically a modernized version of the ms 7525

im looking for a motherboard with the same slots but with 4 ddr3 ram slots and the same cpu socket that it currently has

thank you for your help

Info about your HP motherboard can be found at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=fr&lc=fr&dlc=fr&docname=c01386897#N214.

Finding a new socket 775 motherboard with 4 memory sockets and the same slots is difficult. Newegg sell the ASRock G41C-GS that may meet your requirements: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157359

Buying DDR3 memory and a new motherboard to keep an old socket 775 processor is a bad investment. If your OS is tied to the HP motherboard, you may also have to buy a new copy. I would suggest upgrading the motherboard and CPU to current technology.

That's going to depend entirely on your budget.

Hopefully, you don't really need the PCI slot from your old motherboard. Which way to go depends on your intended usage.
