    Updating processor on Shuttle AK31 v1.3

    Given the dropping prices for Athlons, I'm considering biting on a replacement for an aging Duron. An XP2500+ with the Barton core would be really sweet, but I'm not sure about compatibility. The BIOS history page for this MB on the Shuttle website states that the 5/8/02 version included support...

    REALLY cheap ATX cases!

    I returned a bad 300w PSU to the Geeks over Christmas. They were out of stock on that model, so they sent me a 400w unit as a replacement. No problems except it took a few weeks. In the meantime I had to buy a 250w temporary fromCompUSA. So no real complaints about the Geeks' service. :cool:

    Hey, what does it take for CompGeeks to answer their e-mail? I have a DOA power supply and have e-mailed them at several different addresses with no response. The one-year guarantee of the psu is not much good if the company won't stand behind it. :disgust:

    shuttle ak31 rev3 and enlight 7237 300 watt at newegg?

    Hi Workin' Well, this problem was simple. The $25 250W special from CompUSA worked just fine. The Leadman-PowMax 300W from CompGeeks was simply DOA. Dunno about whether it would be a good idea to get a different replacement for my AK31, considering the posts above.

    Thanks, Workin'. Your surmise might be correct, as I do have an Enlgiht 7237 case. I just got a spare psu from CompUSA and will get down to business this evening. Will let you know the outcome.
