the 754 is from my old rig before the C2D.

so basically re-using spare parts

Biostar TForce 6100 is a s754 motherboard with PCIe. theres a few others oso like the Asus K8N4 which is a s754 mobo with PCIe. most s754 mobos are AGP...but some are PCIe.

@shawty
u referring to me or doom?? doom ATI kaki ma

i think its around 250-280 like that...quite cheap as its an m-ATX board.

thats is...if u can find it la...i think by now hard to find brand new ones...mine oso had to buy second hand....

mebbe u can ask some of the forumers who are bulking biostar products if they can get u think board. i think jy14 might be able to get u this board...

take note that biostar has 2 s754 mobos that can support pcie. the tforce 6100 and the other one i forgot liao.
