    The only thing turning. To waste is the motherboard right? It sucks, but throw out a whole computer because of a motherboard is a wacky move.

      The only thing turning to waste is the OS. You can still use anything else fine.

      Well if you have to throw out the motherboard, there’s a high chance you have to replace the cpu too.

      That’s assuming the user knows that and didn’t just buy a prebuilt tower from Costco, and that it isn’t a laptop or something where changing the motherboard is much harder if not impossible.

        Yeah true. Also finding a new motherboard that still works with your outdated ram type would be annoying research to have to do.
