I can't for the life of me find my motherboard on NewEgg.
I don't currently have my computer, so I can't run Everest to find out exactly what it is.
And the motherboards online all look totally different from mine.
All I know about it is that it's made by Intel, is a LGA 775 CPU socket, has 1 PCI Express 16x slot, 6 different sound plug things in the back, 1 VGA(the blue one? idk) output, 6 USB plugs, and 1 ethernet port.

Halp?



Also, would a 32-bit comp that already has 3Gb of RAM use or ignore the RAM on a graphics card?

Graphics card RAM is used by the graphics card.
It does not count towards the artificial 4GB limit(some guy found that he could mess with windows to get 16GB of ram max).

Ok well that's a good thing.

What about my motherboard problem?
It's the stock motherboard that it came with. I have a Dell Dimension e520.

It's written on the motherboard usually.

Probably broke it with your dumb operating system.

Anyway, what do you want to know? You said this is OEM. If you need hardware specs (memory timing, max memory modules, etc) go look it up on the product website.

You need to be a bit more specific with your request.

All I found was DELL printed on there in white letters along with e210992 which I assume is the product number.



Uhhh basically I want to know what the capabilities of it are. Like what all I can put on it.

Problem is, I have no way of finding out the manufacturer. There is no logo, nothing. Except for the thing that says Dell and the product number(which, when googled, gives me a completely different mobo).

how do you just remember how it looks if you dont have your computer there?
do you just have this random mobo hanging around and want to plug ♥♥♥♥ into it or what?
post a pic of it.

I'm an idiot. Dells have service numbers you can throw in on the site to get everything there is to know about the machines. We abused that feature so hard when I worked at a computer repair shop.

I have it sitting here right next to me, I just can't use it for a few more days.
Parents took it while I took summer school cuz they thought it was a "distraction".



Tried it, and even went to online tech support, but they both gave me nothing.




This is what the back of my computer looks like:


As you can see, all the stuff is on the wrong side compared to EVERY SINGLE motherboard I've looked at.

Sounds like you are pretty ♥♥♥♥, then. You sure this is OEM?

Picture of the mobo would be gr8. You're giving us no material to work with.

looks likes its just in upside down, actually.

SPOILERS IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT SIDE IT'S IN THAT'S JUST CASE DESIGN.

can we have a picture of the actual motherboard, please?

I don't feel like taking apart the whole thing right now.


Compared to all the others I've looked at, it's like upside down and backwards.


What's OEM?


Weird thing is, no case on newegg looks like mine... Hmmm...

Original Equipment Manufacturer. The guys who slapped your equipment together in the first place, like Dell, Gateway, Alienware, etc.
