The specifications for my computer are as below. Could anyone tell me just exactly which motherboard I need for this monster??
p.s.: I'm aware that this Com might be a bit behind its time but... I'd like to sort this problem out... but feel free to advise for the better (bearing in mind that you are talking to a total PC Repair dummy).. I've looked at a few AMD ATX stuff.... hmmf.. but the memory supported don't seem to match up with my Computer specs.. Am I wrong about this?
Please... anyone.. with expertise...let me know... (really really desperate!) :0
Many thanks.

The only Socket A one I see on Newegg (besides a $150 ITX one) is this one. I don't recommend that one, but it would do, I suppose, in a pinch.
What I recommend would be to find an Asus A7N8X series or an Abit NF7/AN7 series on ebay. It might a little more expensive than the PC Chips one, but it would have infinitely more mileage to it. (Unless you're unlucky and get a flaky, bad karma version or something.)
If you're just looking for any old replacement, just look on ebay for one, the older ones are cheap and available. I picked one up a few months ago that would suit your needs for $5, for example. Just keep your eyes open.

AMD Opteron 1224SE "Santa Ana" = DFI Lanparty UT NF590 SLI-M2R/G
Crucial Ballistix 4x1GB DDR2 800 = Corsair CMPSU-750TX
Sapphire 4870 1GB = Sceptre X20WG-Naga 20" = Logitech X-530 5.1
Seagate 320GB (SATA II) x2 = Samsung SH-S203B (SATA)

I have about five Socket A systems, in case you were wondering.
