I see what your saying but you know me well enough
after all these years & the
last thing I'd do is grab "some sis" board in a casual
fashion. Could be the
greatest thing since sliced bread but it's more than I
want to go through.
Appreciate the thought but this is a EoL patch-up to
give the kids that would
not have cost me this much if I had simply suspected
the PSU to begin with. Shit
it would not have been an issue if the Antec scumbags
had built the PSU right or
at least stood behind their steaming pile of
excrement.

AGP (they exist, SIS) for about $33. Grab an AM2
Processor for $35, and a stick of 1G for $10. Bam.
You just spent $78. And you ended up with a LE-1150,
yeah, a "blah" board but you support your video card,
and off you go.

your DDR and other components (like the Asus board)
would sell to make up about 1/2 the distance.

an LE-1150, a chip you can grab OEM for less then $35,
would be easily the equal and superior to a Sempron
whatever SocketA, the board wouldn't be, but you'd
keep the AGP card so who cares, and you'd get better
SATA, USB, etc. support.
