So i had a little problem with a bad bios flash on a ecs motherboard of one of my buddy's comp. So i need to replace the board and know absolutly nothing about Intel's.
His original board was an ecs P4M900T-M.I am looking for the most stable best bang for the buck and cheap motherboard to replace it with,and still use his Pentium D duel core 3.4g
proc. and wintec pc-5300 dr2 ram(2x1g).That also has on board video,it's only an internet and you tube machine(no gaming)
Any recommendations???? Thanks in advance.:)

do you know if the Motherboard has a PLCC Socket or if the bios chip is soldered to the board? Because you may be able to get another chip with the latest bios encoded to it from a bios Repair company for way less than a motherboard replacement.
