| Brandon | PCI Diagnostic POSTI have quite a few motherboards that refuse to display anything, do you think one of these is worth the money?

| Todd | Re:PCI Diagnostic POSTI'm a little skeptical about tools and devices like that. I'd recommend reading reviews about them or seeing if they aren't good. They seem just as phony as those CDs you can buy where every OS is preloaded. :P If you can get one cheap ($10 or less), you can see if it works. Check the seller's feedback for other diagnostic card sales. See what people say about it.
What kinds of motherboards are they anyway? I'd trash them or salvage them for parts (e.g. CPUs) if they weren't really powerful. | 2009-05-01 | 8:43 PM |
| Brandon | Re:PCI Diagnostic POSTI have 2 P4 mobos and a couple P3s. | 2009-05-01 | 8:53 PM |
| pharoah | Re:PCI Diagnostic POSTI've never seen one of those "every OS" CDs... Googling for a good laugh. | 2009-05-01 | 9:02 PM |
| Todd | Re:PCI Diagnostic POSTOkay so the mobos are worth it.
I'd still read some reviews on that device and maybe look for feedback on that seller's profile to see what others say about that tool. If it's cheap enough, it wouldn't hurt to try it. | 2009-05-01 | 11:46 PM |
