Hello all, been a little while since I have posted in here, but I am hoping someone out there can help me out. A customer brought me an HP desktop that would not post. The power supply checked out (I have a tester) and the switch worked (fan come on and stay at full speed) so I put in my diagnostic card and it would not go off DO.
So I ordered him a new motherboard. I couldn't find an nVidia 6150 on newegg, so I ordered a Biostar with the nVidia 7050 because he runs his business off the thing, and I figured it would take too long to restore windows, re-install, and backup all his data, so that is why I ordered a board with the nVidia chipset.
The problem is I ordered Thursday between 2 and 3 (would have been 11-12 on the west coast) with next day air and rush processing, and it did not ship thursday evening or AT ALL friday.
My question is (yes I finally got around to it) would an AMD chipset board work without having to re-install windows? I local store has an MSI with the AMD 690 chipset in stock. Thanks in advance for any help here.
P.S. I am also a little disappointed with Newegg. I have never ordered with rush processing before but always have my order shipped by the next business day. The only thing they found time to do in a day and a half is charge my card.
