Hi, My HP PC comes with the ASUS PTGD-LA motherboard: It doesn't have any PCI-e slots but if you go to the link above and look at the diagram of the motherboard carefully, it looks like there is a space on the motherboard where a pci-e x16 slot is supposed be and purposely omitted it in the manufacturing. If you look at this motherboard's close cousin PTGD1-LA, which came out a few months after ( ), the only difference is that it has a PCI-e x16 slot on this board. Are there any ways to add a PCI-e connector to my motherboard (like going to an HP dealer and ask them to solder a connector)? If not, is it possible to switch motherboards but keep all the software and hardware that originally came with the PC (Will it be more likely to be successful if I switch to its cousin, PTGD1-LA)? Yes it's theoretically possible but much much much more difficult than you think. 1) The slot isn't all you need. - When they don't put the slot on the board there's a LOAD of other things they skip installing.

- Reststors, caps, diodes, voltage regulators to support that slot may or may not be there. - They probably are not there. It makes the board cheaper and that's what OEM is all about. 2) To get the information as to what components are needed: you'd have to have a board with the slot there anyway to look at (and hope you can tell what they are 'cause some parts are too small to read anymore anyway), or, get your hands on the super secret engineering data that lists all those tiny little parts. (Not too likely unless you have a buddy at engineering at Asus.) 3) Cost.

There are many approaches for collecting and analyzing data and the choice of these will dependent on the study. A literature review is a detailed analysis of what other authors have said about your topic of study. Kotyol aljfa kolor oshibka e 14 5. A proposal in dissertation writing should also contain a literature review. After writing your proposal the next step is the collection and analysis of data. The dissertation proposal should also include a work schedule and a budget plan for your dissertation project.

By the time you figure out what you need (if you can) and buy all those parts individually, and get the equipment to solder those tiny little buggers on, (or hire someone qualified in that kind of electronics work at $75+/- per hour to solder it on for you.) - HP isn't going to touch a job like that. HP doesn't 'build' motherboards. The buy the OEM from companies like Asus and stick them in their systems. They'd just try to sell you a different board. So, yes you can do it. My guess it would cost well over $500.

Some info on swapping motherboards and keeping your hard drive: Alternately, if the board is virtually identical, you could just swap them out, run the OS and see if the current installation of XP balks. If not, just add your new mainboard drivers, reinstall sound, video drivers, etc.
