My server mobo has gone bad on me. It's a dual processor IWILL DVD266-R (VIA Apollo Pro266 chipset). With it I have two 1 GHz PIII CPU's and two 256mb DIMMs of PC2100 DDR memory. The mobo has integrated IDE RAID.

I can't find the mobo anywhere, and if I upgrade, I'll have to replace the CPU's and the memory. I'm willing to drop the dual processors if I can find a socket 370 mobo with DDR support.

Where might I find an older mobo like this? I've looked alllllllll around. Should I bite the bullet and upgrage? What do you guys think?

it totally depends on what the server is used for. What do you do with it, how often do you use it for extensive processing. etc etc. if its used a lot, bite the bullet and upgrade, otherwise just search FS/FT forums and buy a cheap cpu/mobo there for $100 that supports pc2100
