WTB: MSI motherboard socket 478

[Sweeper]

My MB failed so am in need of replacement for it. Not looking to upgrade entire system as I don't have the cash right now. I am looking for:

MSI 865PE Neo2-LS (MS-6728-020) motherboard or one similar as the OS on the HD I need to keep and a totally different board will force me to format/install a new OS.

Thanks,
Sweeper

That should allow you to get any board..

I'm running windows Vista.... that applies only to XP/2000. It doesn't explain how to get by the initial boot either. Once installed Vista will immediatly try and pick up anything that is different and thus create a mess if I don't keep the same 865 chipset.

I guess i should have asked that...
My bad...

hey if nothing else, bumps for you..

I have a MSI 865PE Neo2-PFISR motherboard sitting in its case in my closet that I nearly forgot about haha. I tried to sell it like a year or so ago when I parted my old system out but never sold it, guess I had priced to high or whatever. It is in excellent condition from what I can see, and it booted up when I hooked it to a powersupply on my bench today. It is essentially the same motherboard as your previous MSI 865PE Neo2 but the fan on top of the chipset has black fins with no led light. I am selling the motherboard as is however as I have not tested it recently in a complete system, although it worked perfectly in my old system that got parted out.
I have all original cables and manuel.
