Hi, I am about to replace a dead Motherboard in a dead PC (Emachines W2888). I've done some reasearch and found the exact type of MoBo I need (ATX Socket 478 boards). I found some nice deals on Ebay for a MoBo ranging from $30 - $60. They are indeed bargains but they do not include any instructions or more importantly, software. Do I need a software to install a new MoBo? If not, how do I go around the process? Per the usual, thanks!

I really appreciate this. I am currently looking to buy the SRock P4VM890 Socket 478 VIA P4M890 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail' for $49.99. Would you agree that for the price this is probably the best of the bunch? Also, when replacing MoBo's is there anything else I need to know or make sure to do besides remembering to move the CPU and fan from the old MoBo to the new one? I think I also will need to re-install the operating system on the currently dead but coming back to life PC?? Thanks again and have a good weekend.

with the motherboard, graphics card...

use the thumbs up rating...

that's about it ...

Newegg.com isn't the lowest price retailer but I swear by them. they have a great return policy, fast shipping, and reasonable prices. Sometime the lowest price isn't the best price
