Quote - I'd save up for a new motherboard myself.

at the time that was not an option.. I was struggling to pay for food, rent etc let alone a new PC. but since then, my situation has improved... to the point I'm running 3 PC's (1 Sempron 2400, 1 Sempron 2800 and an Athlon 64 X2 5600) I still have that MB tho.. emergency backup lol
