    Have looked most everywhere for this board maybe someone out there might know where I can find it. Board is Asus p38-F and I believe with the Intel 440bx chipset .

    Thanks.

    Try Price Watch and if necessary, EBay. If no soap, post back with the processor socket or slot type and I'll do some trolling.

    This board has been out of production for quite some time. Chances of finding a new one is about none.

    Why this board?

    Kinda what I thought. Actually was just going to replace the bad one with the same board. Any suggestions on a replacement board.

    Since my cuistomers are mostly either business users or average home users who aren't into heavy gaming, I judge a board by its reliability more than its benchmark tests or gaming performance.

    Currently, I am having good luck with about everything I buy. Those are Shuttle, DFI and ECS/Amptron/PC Chips. I base these selections on the customer's willingness to spend. Customers who want a little higher-end board will get the Shuttle or DFI.

    However, I am sure there are other brands that are just as good. You will probably have nearly many brands suggested here as there are people who suggest them.

    www.pricewatch.com lists a large number of boards at very low prices. Just decide what peripherals you need to plug into that board and go for the one that meets that criteria.
