I have an HP 9905 that I got just over 4 years ago. The mobo is M7266-M with AMD-761 chipset and VIA VT82C686 southbridge. The processor is an AMD Athlon Thunderbird 1.4GHz. The mainboard has 2 slots for RAM, 3 PCI slots, a network card, an AGP 4x and I think about 4 USB ports (2 of them come out the front along with what I guess is a game port).
There is some info on it at http://tinyurl.com/ac6vz
It says that the chipset causes memory corruption.
I keep getting blue screen with “memory check NMI memory/parity error”.
I want to upgrade to a micro ATX mobo with about the same features only with USB 2.0, AGB 8x (at least) and firewire.
I would like to do it without having to reinstall windows XP. Money is an issue unfortunately. Does anyone know of a good board that fits this description? I saw some boards at sites without reviews and know nothing about southbridges and chipsets.. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
