Your motherboard uses a Socket A processor with PC1600 or PC2100 DDR ram, that is very old. Your only bet to get a mobo that uses that is to get a used one somewhere

Ah so it would be stupid of me to buy an old motherboard just to keep a crappy cpu if i plan on upgrading.

oh no, i think its the click of death! its becoming more frequent. is there a way of backing up all my work? i have gigs of music ive written over the span of 2 years at stake.

Have you got an external hard drive?I think you may have to much work just to put to disks?Unless you got a lot of disks?

Do you have another computer you could install it in as a slave drive and remove the data?

You mentioned 2 HDs, If your second one is fine I'd transfer everything over to it in a big hurry

yeah i have 2 hard drives BUT, on one occasion both were unreadable. thats why i thought it was just the mb and not both hdds. the important files are on the slave disk. drive d, and it even has a windows installation so i hope that works. im just afraid that both are dying at the same time.
