Xernicus Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Sure thing man. Two things that would help me help you: Your CPU "identifier" (Example AMD Athlon 620, Phenom 960T, etc.) And the speed of your ram. Is it 4200, 5300, 6400, etc? Once I get that info, I can really narrow down the search results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xernicus Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 So... I've got some good news for ya. Luckily, your processor IS AM2+, not AM2. Unfortunately, even AM2+ motherboards can be hard to come by, and I know this just from rebuild my own computer which has an AM2+/AM3 compatible processor in it. And then there's the money constraint.I'm a "e-cycle" kind of person, so buying a whole new motherboard, case, CPU, and memory is a big no-no for me, when there's just one thing that need replacing. And, that CPU and memory is still "current", you shouldn't have to really build/buy a new computer for another 2-3 years at least, imho.So, this is the motherboard you want: MSI MS-7501I looked around at a few American retailers (I'm here in the USA), but I did find some of these on eBay for around 38 euros (not including shipping). And they're refurbished from a seller who has good feedback.Here's the link for you: http://www.ebay.de/sch/i.html?_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.XMSI+MS-7501&_nkw=MSI+MS-7501&_sacat=0&_from=R40 just scroll down to the international sellers.By the way, I may be able to find you a compatible motherboard if you'd like, I'm just on the busy side so it would take me awhile.Good luck! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3ti Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 (edited) No need to look for the exact same mainboard and pay international shipping costs. I would go for one of these GA-MA790X, enough for your needs and anyway better than your old medion/msi board: http://www.ebay.de/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=GA-MA790X&=&LH_ItemCondition=4 http://www.gigabyte.de/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3107#sp Edited September 16, 2013 by S3ti 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The form factor seems identical enough (I'm still exhausted, haven't had my morning cup of coffee yet). The only thing I will say, is to make sure your case supports the extra ports that are on the Gigabyte, and if not, that you (or know someone who is) feel comfortable drilling through the aluminum or plastic (case) so that the board fits. +1 to S3ti for knowing his stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3ti Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Oh right didn't check that your old 7501 board is micro-ATX, the GA-MA790X is ATX. Standard ATX is longer and has more slots, so make sure it would fit in your case! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
