Need board for AMD K-6/500 2.2V

[cMoAyRoItOe]

Hey all i just got a comp send to me for repair which was an old gateway, and they swapped all the parts to a new case new PSU, cause it wasned working.

I plugged it in, and it just turns on. No Image no beep no nothing.

When i do 5 sec shutdown, it turns right back on.

im guessing the Mobo is shot. So now im looking for a new cheap motherboard for that AMD K6-2/500.

Anyone know where i can get oen of those boards cause newegg dont have em.

Its just a standart Socket 370 right? But i heard not all 370s support K6's i dunno if thats tru cause of the different voltages but i hope yall can help me.

Thx

You need to look for a board that supports Socket7 or Super Socket7

I found one at PriceWatch.

From Package2you.com

They look pretty good over at ResellerRatings as well.

If the power supply is 300w you might try a duron and motherboard instead...sell them on the upgrade..they will have TONS more power and upgrade-ability.

Even something like this might be a cool idea..with a built in duron. http://store.yahoo.com/bilsystem-sto...urpcchip3.html

Socket 7 is soooooooo old...it wont even show up on a benchmark comparison.

Good point, probably cheaper in the end as well.

Just trying to point out that if they just want to spend >$50 for right now, you could replace their board.

im trien to keep it cheap for them so maybe 50 bucks max 70 cause thats allrdy alot of money put into it.

for their needs i dont see why spend the xtra money u know all they do is word processing and online research. Wouldned a Socket 370 work? same pins aint it? like a Aopen MX-36LE-UN?

Thx

socket 7 and 370 have as much to do with each other as p4 and athlon sockets do...nothing.
The only possible relation is the heatsink/fan may possibly interchange.

Hmmm... found this SS7 mobo at surpluscomputers.com:

It's a compaq mobo using the MVP4 chipset. No AGP slot. $20 + shipping.

But is it AT or ATX style? What type of keyboard plug does it have?
