billf1, Get a ASUS A7N8X-LA. Theres a few on ebay for less then $30 shipped and it even comes with a cpu. You can use the heatsink from the bad purple board. Im pretty sure you can use the cpu aswell, but usually there some crappy slow 600mhz amd geode. With the ASUS A7N8X you will get [FAILED] in red. This is a script trying to load a sensor for Winbond IO chip because it thinks the ASUS A7N8X is the ASUS K8N-VM which has a Winbond, but the ASUS A7N8X has a ITE. This error is not important, and can easily be changed to load the correct sensor if you know your way around linux. Otherwise, dont worry about it.
