thats the main point. Starry, I have assembled many pc for my friends and done it commercially too for 5 months which paid for my M2NE motherboard and 5000+ processor and 7600gt. Over that period of time I have never dealt with second hand goods that do no have warranty.
The slip here is pasted on a chip which is very unusual and generally done when the board is sent to a service-centre. Seen it many times.
Just go for a new board.(if possible, ditch the old mobo+processor+ram too, if possible)

lol.. i think he missd the correct thread?

so i went today to the market to get an idea of the situation... turns out there's no known branded 845 or 865 board... whats there is a company named 'omaxe' manufactured 845 boards... there is an agp slot there but the people are not even aware if its 4x or 8x...

any info for this brand?

maybe i shud look for the board in not so well known computer hardware places... like the individual shops here n there... m sure i saw an intel 865 board at one such shop but there was no agp slot on it. but i did not ask for any other board there (was bent on 865 with dual channel mem... lol)

evander i think i'm making a mistake not buying the board... after what i saw in the market...

as far as the rust is concerned it is on the parallel port... possibly due to lack of usage.

I havent heard about "omaxe" either and there is no point in buying such a board. I was not worried about that rust, i was concerned about that sticker. Anyway, do look for a new board at other shops and if not found, there no more options for us than to go for that second-hand board. Try to convince the guy to lower the price if possible.
I have dealt in second-hand boards and am sure that , that board can not cost more than 1.2k . let me know what happens.

i've asked him what that sticker meant... see what he replies... ... really that omaxe thing was pure local maal! ...

i'l go around shops here in dwarka tomoro, also those shops which r at hard to access places (saw that board i mentiond at such a place )... i really hope i find one.

so he's saying the label is to know that its his board....

and btw the slip's not pasted on a chip evander... its on an empty space.

thats very silly , and I dont believe it. OK, i am going to tell u what I would do, if I couldnt find a new board (should be priced around 1.8k), I would buy this one for a maximum 1.2k.
Not more.

ok... i've decided i will act wisely for a change and have some patience...

i will just look for a new board somewhere of a reputed brand. if i find one, well and good. if i dont, i will just let the system stay as it is.
it is with gr8 misery that i've come to this decision, but i've finally decided for sure.

i was just thinking the upgrade wud greatly extend the life of the comp... as well as it wud become more powerful.
