[MonkeyRides]

My motherboard is shot. looking for a cheap but reasonable replacement. Im not an expert on motherboards, im not the one to be able to point out the good from the bad.

i found this one ebay
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=180236889166

What do you think of this Motherboard and

Would this motherboard support my:
AMD Athlon Xp cpu (dont see why not)
and would it support my DDR2 ram?

thanks

It will support Athlon XP's, but won't support DDR2 RAM.

Like said above it will support a XP Athlon but the last of Socket A were only DDR. Theres no DDR2 Socket A.

so would it be worth a try to keep looking for one on ebay? Someone has to have a motherboard that supports both my cpu and ram

I didn't think there were many, if any boards that support DDR2 and SocketA processors... If there are, it's more rare. Would you consider upgrading? You can get some newer AM2 processors for next to nothing. Then any AM2 board you purchase would support DDR2...

Socket A (462) never supported DDR2.

well on my previous board that is now shot with the socket A, i pulled the ram and they say DDR200

It is first generation DDR. The 200 is the speed.

You will need to find a board that will run DDR200 thru DDR400.
The ASUS board you gave a link to will work just fine.
