Socket 478 Mobo

[IdlePhaedrus]

Hi All,

I need to get a Socket 478 motherboard. Seems they are quite scarce. Anyone have any suggestions?

If you're happy to wait a week or two, I'm busy trying to upgrade and will be able to sell my Socket 478 mobo soon.

Corex should have stock as they did have when I last checked last year

 

[IdlePhaedrus]

Thanks NoADSLyet, I will give them a bell...

 

[IdlePhaedrus]

Nope, Corex are out of stock... thanks anyway.

Maybe Esquire might have stock?

 

[NoADSLyet]

I did not believe it so called. Spoke to JACO
Stock MB-FIS661FX R399.00 +vat

Some special INTEL board to increase supply for popular demand...or something I was told last year.

Thanks Beanie,

Have emailed them. Their Cape Town branch still appears to be on leave

Thanks NoADSLYet, you obviously need to know who to speak to. I will phone Jaco if I don't come right with Esquire, Cape Town would be a better bet for me...

Got a reply from Zaib at Esquire, they don't have any either apparently

Try phoning PC International and asking whether they can get their hands on one for you

They are also still on holiday

<EDIT> LOL, I just found out that the broken motherboard came from them originally. Foxconn Mobo, so I don't suppose it is their fault really </edit>
