    Try eBay. Search for "slot a motherboard" and you will get quite a few. Asus and Abit are nobrainers. Avoid the Gateway boards.

    Tiger Direct has a Shuttle AI61 & 700 Athlon combo for $69.

    Oops. Just skimmed over your post after reading the thread title. You are sure that your cpu is toast? Well, forget the slot a replacement. If you want to use your sdram in your new board, this thread discusses some. The ECS K7S5A is a highly recommended motherboard, being the heart of many a computer owned by our forum members. You can get it for $53 with free shipping at Newegg.com and also get a processor at the same place. Currently on blow-out special is the Athlon XP 1600+ for only $52 with free shipping. A faster Athlon probably would be better, but it's up to you how much you want to spend.

    ECS K7S5A: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduc...ion=13-135-102

    Athlon XP Processors: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduc...tby=14&order=1

    If you still want a slot a motherboard, here's one for only $29.95: http://store.yahoo.com/justdeals/ficsdmain.html
