I broke the retention clip on the memory slot and now my computer just boots and hangs. No start up screen, zippo. After much research, I realized that little clip probably affected the motherboard. I'm not in a position right now to buy a new mobo and it's essential parts, I just want to replace the board I'm using for now. Here are the specs:

ASUS CUV266

CPU Support

• Supports Socket 370 processors
• Supports Intel Pentium III processors from 650 MHz to 1.0 Hz
• Supports Intel Celeron processors from 333 MHz to 1.1 GHz

Chipset
• VIA VT8633 chipset
• Supports AGP 4X/2X Pro
• UltraDMA/100/66/33 IDE Controller

Memory
• 3 x 184-pin DIMM sockets
• Supports up to 3 GB of DDR PC1600/PC2100 SDRAM

Is there anyone who can point me in the direction where I can purchase one or at the very least, a reasonable fascimile? If you need more specs let me know. Thanks.
 
Okay everyone. I think I found something. It’s on EBay for $40.00.

I hope I nailed it. The specs are very close to mine and the memory is compatible. I spoke to the seller. If there is anything I need to verify, I'm open to suggestions. Due to your suggestions, I was able to narrow down a lot. Thanks so much. I'll keep you posted. :D
 
Socket 370 pentium 3?
well, it is your chance to upgrade your computer

you might as well get a nice PC for yourself,
spend about $1000, you can get a realy cool ones.
 
charles, she has already said she is no position to upgrade her whole computer and just the board will have to do....

Anyway, be warned, if you replace your motherboard you will have to do a repair installation of windows XP (if your running XP that is), once you have put your new board in, the PC wuill no longer boot. When this happens put the WinXP disc in and select to do a "repair installation". It WILL keep all your files etc... and SHOULD make it boot properly.
