ah, i got confused by your signature, it has a Duron in it with no mobo so i assumed that is the system that needs a board. What kind of gfx card does your brother have AGP or PCI-e? i seen some cheap 478 boards for sale perhaps i can point them out to you

Well, it seems that a lot of 478 boards are out stock so let me give you some options:

I know this is a PCI-e, but i think this your best bet, it is still new everyhing else is refurbished aside from the last 2 boards:

P.S. Make sure the DFI board supports your CPU i couldn't find info on that

Also try ebay:

I'm really looking for someone who might have one on the TPU! Partly, I trust most of you guys to give me something working. Also someone around here has GOT to have a socket 478 mobo that supports DDR RAM and AGP! Common, I don't care about overclocking with this, just need something that runs thats really cheap. All he does is play free mmo's and chat online. Doesn't have to be anything special, as long as it supports a P4 prescott, all is gravey.
