[Ham-Computers] Help needed

[Dan Violette]

If you are just after the old operating system, you can buy the operating
system and install it instead of Win 7.  I helped a neighbor with the same
kind of issue.  After spending too much to get an identical MB, it still
would not install the recovery disk (HP brand).  Had to buy Win XP.  Would
have been cheaper to get a cheaper MB but part of the trade off was using
the old processor and memory.  His PS had fried and took the MB with it.
Since you are willing to install a new MB, might as well build a cheap PC
even if you do not go to Win 7.

Gene,

That's the reason I will not buy computers with proprietary hardware...
