HP D530 Mobo Wanted

#Post
1

I have managed to kill my old PC and would like to replace the motherboard. I have tried emailing a few traders but get no response. Does anyone have one? Happy to take a whole PC but must be a D530, of any size. SFF or MT.
Thanks
Jeff

I just checked online and it is a bit ancient. What is it running, a P4? Do you have to have a D30 MB or can you just use another P4 MB? I could send you an IBM one for example? I have one here which just needs a coin cell holder repair.

It is the PC I use for Gaming on W98 and I dual boot with W2000 just for laughs occasionally. It is indeed a P4 and the intel chipset has drivers for W98 which is the main requirement. I thought that if I replaced the mobo with the same kind I would not have to mess with drivers. I dont want to do more than necessary to get it up and running again so I will pass on the IBM.
Cheers

Might be a few days but probably can help

Yes W98 probably won't like Mobo change.

Why? Just change it...get a motherboard/cpu/ram bundle and upgrade the machine.

It's an old friend and I like it :-]
I also have a few IBM 486's and P1's I play with when I am not on my main PC which is a bout 4 years old now.
Cheers Everyone

And run W98? I doubt it will run on newer hardware than that. No driver support.

I have several ECS boards from the socket 462 era. They would run Win 98 but question is would they fit your case? Also got CPU and coolers to suit.
