I guess the current ones wont work in such an old unit I just want to get it going so my youngest can play online games so not wanting to chuck a lot of money at it.
Trade me has a few cheap ones that are still in the box but not sure what one to get, so if anyone with some knowledge and could post a url to one that would be an equivalent that would be great.
Cheers

Any socket 939 board should be fine.

Yep agreed. Just look for a new (or good used) socket 939 board. Are you planning to replace it yourself?

[mashman]

make a list of your component usage, that'll help you identify the best board for you... but it'll have to be a socket 939 board for the processor to fit... take your time and you'll be fine.

Don't forget to clean the top of the processor and the bottom of the processor heatsink, and re-apply some thermal paste to the processor before installing the heatsink back on. It's a common thing that people forget to do, and it ends in a fried CPU and a dent to your wallet.

The CPU turns itself off far before it gets hot enough to do damage.
Then again, I don't know about AMD's.
