Recommend me an olde school mb to match my gear

[TheNiceGuy]

Hi all
I believe my mb just died, the stuff in my sig.

I was hoping for an identical mb so I could just drop in and not have reinstall/match up everything. But that may be hard to do. Any other boards being sold currently that I can use my gear with?
Thanks

Either of these boards should do:

Thanks verymuch. I can get both those here reasonably. Straight drop in of my CPU and ram?
I sent the eBay guy a pm, but not great. 3 year old used mb for more than a new mb as linked above... With shipping 85$,as a starting bid...
Vs about $50 for one of the linked above.

Edit: just saw this acer laptop:

are those specs higher than my system? For 500$ maybe worth upgrading to a laptop. Everything looks better, even W7. Not sure video though.
Thanks all

Thanks! Actualy I just pulled 1 stick of RAM out and VOOM, the PC is working now. If I reseat 2 sticks, goes bvack to not working. Any ideas?

Oops -- sorry. I didn't factor in where you are located (it's only $13.85 to ship it here). I took from your first post that you preferred to drop in an exact replacement.
