Dimension 5000 Motherboard replacement
Hi there, my Dimension 5000 has been causing serious grief of late, first my secondary HDD, then the memory, now the primary HDD. I'm resolved to the fact that the motherboard has had it's day. This has been a great machine over the years and I would really like to keep it but am unsure if a replacement is possible. I've read a few threads that say that the motherboard is very specific Pentium 4 with hyperthreading can any one suggest where I might obtain one of these or a suitable alternative? Here are some relavent specs...
DIMENSION 5000 P4 PROCESSOR 530 WITH HT
160GB SATA (7200RPM) HARD DRIVE
128MB ATI RADEON¿ X300 SE

Either of the Dell BTX HG648/W5363 motherboards you linked too, will work.

Thanks Speedstep that's quite a bit of info. So am I correct in assuming that either of these two boards would suit me?
Dell W5363 motherboard (system board) - P4 Socket 775 for Dimension 5000 - (0W5363)
Dell HG648 motherboard (system board) - P4 Socket 775 for Dimension 5000 - (0HG648)
or just look for any Dell Dimension 5000 LGA775 Motherboard like this or this?
