Currently I have this motherboard, entering these specs because I don't know exactly what I need to list. If you need something else, let me know and I will add.
Alienware 04VWF2
Chipset: Intel X58
Southbridge: Intek 82801J$ (ICH10R)
LPCIO: Fintek: F71882F
I would like to upgrade it because frankly, I am tired of seeing the Alienware logo on the bios every time I turn on my computer. Plus, for some reason I can never successfully get onto the setup page.
I got this machine around two years ago for Christmas, when my parents didn't want me trying to build a machine that wouldn't work. But now that my knowledge has increased much more, I am thinking of replacing it. Especially because I am getting a new case in about a month as the start of upgrades to my computer.
So, my questions are.. Would it be worth even upgrading it? And which motherboard should I get that is decently affordable for what it does?
