    Hi,
    I need a bit of some help to decide on a new Motherboard for my Acer Aspire 5610z, I would like to upgrade to a 5610 motherboard with integrated graphics, 945 chipset to enable the use of 4GB RAM, as there are many variants of MBs, I find it difficult on deciding which one to buy, if anyone of you could suggest me some MBs I would be grateful, Thanks.

    Finally managed to find an Acer Travelmate 4200 MB at a reasonable price. I'll let you know the outcome.
    EDIT: I have successfully installed my replacement MB today, it went well except for some broken plastic tabs, I am not too bothered at all as I use my laptop on a desk, however I'm glad that I can upgrade my memory to 4GB :wink:

    EDIT: I had to re-activate my Windows installation as there was a hardware change, it was easy by phone, just a note for anyone who wish to upgrade their MB.
