Board uses an 865PE. It is out of stock here, but was for sale at one time. http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?Inv...X-WB&cpc=RECOM For remaining 865PE stock, at least some of it will be "pulls" from working equipment. And price-wise, at least one seller on this page, thinks customers will pay a high price for an 865PE board. Ebay would be another option. http://castle.pricewatch.com/s/search.asp?s=865pe When searching for a replacement, make sure the advert says "865PE" and "S478", because there were some boards made with socket LGA775 that have the 865PE chipset as well. This motherboard, for example, won't work for you, because it is LGA775 socket. The board uses the 865PE chipset. So your search terms should include S478. http://www.asus.com/products.aspx?l1...&modelmenu =1 If you cannot find any desirable 865PE boards, the chipsets form a family. 875P, 865PE, 865G (not GV), 848, are examples of things that could be used. Even an 845PE based board, a previous generation chipset could be used, but 845PE is a single channel board, with FSB limitations if your current processor is FSB800 (it would make a crappy replacement). The 865G type boards were in production the longest, of the family. 865G has built-in graphics. The reason you would not want an 865GV, is no AGP slot. There are even some motherboard PCBs, designed for an AGP slot and 865G, that have an 865GV soldered to them, and the AGP connector is not soldered in place. That would help the manufacturer get rid of their stock of 865GV chips, but is no help to the average consumer that wants an AGP slot. When my 875P board dies, I'll be shoveling dirt over mine :-) Good luck, Paul |
