Finding specs on old mobo
I've kinda got a piece comp here from people pc. When we got it i was as ignorant as anyone about comps, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten it. Well, now im learning and have been trying to find the specs to my motherboard so I know if there are any improvements I can do. I've searched ibm.com for the specs and I've found that its a V75M-UMA motherboard. No specs on supported cpu's or anything. I've also searched googel and found nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jp1095,
Most proprietary systems (like the one you're looking at) aren't really designed with upgrading in mind. The company would rather see you buy a newer, faster PC from them than upgrade an existing one. You could probably upgrade the memory and add a larger hard drive and a few other things, but upgrading the CPU may or may not be possible. What kind of CPU does that motherboard take and what chipset is used?  Cricket

That motherboard is made by Acer for the IBM Aptiva 2170 models.
http://www.pc.ibm.com/qtechinfo/MIGR....html?doctype= It's a SiS 5595 chipset, integrated video with shared memory and integrated sound. Not much you can do with it except stuff 256 megs of ram in it. |

As I feared. I'll just have to build a new one once this one blows up.
