    Replacement MOBO for Emachines et 1331g
    « on: January 22, 2017, 01:13:12 PM »
    I Do not want to buy a new computer, no trolling that please.
    I have given up hope on getting a new graphics card in hopes getting one that can run openGL 3.3 or better.
    i do not want a new machine. I'm hoping that if i get a new motherboard it'll have some inter graded graphics that would have open gl 3.3 or better to run. It's for gaming. So is there a mobo i can put in this machine that would be compatible, just want open GL and it to be for windows 7. Oh wise internet wizards, is there hope?

    I got some current upgrades for my machine, if they are not compatible I can replace them, just letting you all know so mabye it can help:

    got a new power suply, I installed it, it's in there running great, right now. works perfectly.

    I don't think you should call helpfully-meant suggestions "trolling". Also I think that starting a thread by warning-off answers that you don't want is a good way to severely limit the number of responses you get. Does the new board have to use existing CPU & RAM?

    If that Windows install is not full retail (if it is OEM), you are likely going to have to pay out for a new Windows license, which is why buying another, possibly used, PC could be a more viable solution financially. Even in 2008 or 2009 this is a low end computer. Today it's just hopelessly outdated. (Quote from a 2012 forum post I found.)

    Good luck finding a new MBoard for that as well...

    The issue with eMachines also is they had a history of buying MBoards in bulk for a production Model #  from the cheapest manuf. at the time...
    I have seen eMachine models have boards from 3 to 5 different manuf.s on 1 Model so unless you have physically removed the board to check you never know...

    I am sure however you could probably locate a used one on eBay or elsewhere...

      I think the best way we can approach this to suit your needs is if we start with a budget 1st...

      Also a general list of the apps and games you run most often or would like to be able to run...

      That'll give us a starting point.
