    Hello guys

    I plan to do an upgrade of my computer, a really big one. And because of that I want ot have the best reliable notebook parts. My machine is acer aspire 5920G.
    I am interested in motherboards. I had like 6 of those notebooks during the time. And I notices there are different revisions of motherboard. There is a rev. G also rev. F and I think also a rev. E
    there are motherboard with plastic audio connectors and other with half/plastic audio connectors
    Does anybody knows what is the difference between these revisions.
    Is it only the difference in years of productions or does any of these revisions have better chips on board?
    Thanks

    I plan upgrade all hardware parts Procesor to Intel x9000, hyperx low latency ram, SSD, and the bigest mod Nvidia GT 330M modified to work on this notebook. Also a cooling system to something similar triturbo has done with his. Therefore I look for a reliable parts, especialy motherboard as I dont want to have motherboard chipset broken after time or something like that.
    Thats why I am asking if there is a difference between them.

    I don't know the exact differences between F and G, but I can say for sure that both support 8GB RAM.
