My new PC

Post by pcs »

Just thought some of you might like to know
that I managed to get a hold of the new nForce 4
pciexpress S939 AMD motherboard on my trip to Taipei.

About 100 US$.

Those of you who know what this is and how hard they
are to come by today can start to drool now :)

Nope, I'm not selling mine :D

I haven't seen the 939 PCI express board yet, the 939s are common here but not with PCI express. I built my son a 939 (fx53) a couple of months ago with an ATI 9800SE. I used the MSI motherboard. ($170 USD) This thing really is fast. I can hardly wait till the new OS comes out. I have the beta but no 64 bit programs to run with it.

Where in Taipei do buy your stuff so cheap? I am going to Guam later next month... you never know, I might just find myself in Taipei.

The NOVA computer mall next to the Taipei main station,
you'll use subway to get there. This is just across the street
from the second highest scraper, you'll find it easily.

Than there's some kind of computer mall just a block away.

There's also a computer parts market, called something like
huangho street. Ask around.

This board has pciexpress, which is a bit hard to find anywhere.

Thanks for the info, I may just try to get over there as I will have five days off in Guam with nothing to do.

Happy New Year!!
