Need a socket A m/b

Noticed some swollen caps on m/b while upgrading my vid. to a radeon 9500pro in my K7S5A/Athlon Xp 1800 combo.Works fine for now,but the writing is on the wall.Money is tight can only afford to replace board.New or used m/b is fine.My options: New: -ECS 741GX-M SIS 333 MATX AGP8X - $75.00 Can. shipp...

well it seems only the ram survived,I have yet to test the cpu,I'll do that next.H/d is toast.Thought it might have survived but it would'nt work as a slave,so I set it as primary and disconnected my h/d to see if it would work as master,bios didn't even see it on boot,so I guess it's fried too.If t...

Ya,I'll pass on the p/s :) .Tried the vid card,it's toast.Didn't smell too good when pc tried to start up,so I turned it off quick.I'm assuming if the vid card is dead,the sound card(sb16)modem(33.6) and nic are toast too.They're inexpensive anyway,but the vid card was a gf2 and alittle more of a lo...

How much ram does the V5 have?I heard the 5000 had 32 and the 5500 had 64meg.I thought the V5 5000 never made it to market.That card is hard to find.
