Re: Mother board version issue ms-7184

It's a 939 socket not that it matters now! Original post list an Athlon 64 4200+ was a typo should have

Hi,
I'm Icenesis. I started, at the time on a new Tandy that had an 8088 cpu . learning to program batch files and writing simple to fairly complex system operating files. I took architectural and civil engineering. Later progressed to learning electronics and operating my own TV/VCR repair shop. Computers were always a first choice. Even so, I'm still learning as I think we all have to take that dip now and again because of the Moore's law. People are saying it's now dead or dying. Personally, I think it's taking a...
