Thanks to everyone for their support. :) Thanks, I got a socket A mobo, but unfortunately, it wasn’t just the motherboard, and now I just need a stick of RAM, and the old beast will be back to its old self.

Looks like you'll still be able to get a few years kicked out of it. Wow, that’s awfully nice of you Justin :)

What would I owe you to get you to send that down? Joram - That is one of the first questions I get all the time. There are two sticks in there of 512mb. I tried it with one and then with the other, only to get the same beep code. I looked at ebay, but people want a pretty penny to send out old computer parts on there it seems... at least motherboards. I went on a few computer websites, and deal sites like RedFlagDeals.com and a guy there is sending me a board but he is not sure if it works or not. He just charged me shipping, so that's nice. Hopefully it works. I am also looking to grab a stick or two of DDR ram to test out that theory. If both of my sticks are bad, I am going to be some pissed. Justin - Man, that Sempron... its a 754 isn't it? It'd still be nice to get it up and running. I'd even throw a celeron in there just to get it back up...lol. Let me know what it'd set me back. E-mailed you about TBJ. Mark - That’d be of great help, but I wouldn’t want to take away from your eventual server machine… What would I owe you to get you to send that down?

I will ship one to you. Let me get a few out, I have Sempron 64bit 2800+ and Celeron 2.8Ds. I think I have a few PentiumD and 2.8GHZ HTT systems available too. Been a while since I checked. It will have CPU, MOBO + MEMORY (1gb typically) Email me, still waiting on that zip.... David,

You might try to try and turn the PC on while removing one of them. Perhaps only one of the RAM-modules is broken, which might be the reason of a failing PC :) Have you tried Ebay by any chance? I don't know any store that might sell the Socket-A motherboards other then a secondhand somewhere.... although I have a feeling that there are enough enthousiasts reading your blog :D How many RAM-modules are in that PC?
