Hi All,

Recently my desktop computer quit running, while I was online checking email. At first I THOUGHT it was a power problem, as I could not turn the computer on at all afterwards ( I still can't). After a thorough check I REALIZED the power supply was OK as was the small 3v. battery in the board itself. ( The green light on the board is lit). So, I am thinking the board itself is bad and I want to try and replace it. I have an e-machines T-2742, I have all the specs for this model. I use it mostly to surf online and I do not download a lot of things or game with it. It is mostly a surf and seek info computer. My problem is this>> when I am looking at motherboards and CPUS online at various sites, they do not have the exact model number that my board specs say. ( because they are not the same maker), and I wanted to know what would be the easiest way to find a board that would match or closely match ( and work) the board and cpu in my computer now. THe tech specs for my current board are Intel Celeron 2.7 GHZ. 478P 128k F400. Any ideas to what is available?You can check any systemboard and what support your celeron So any motherboard/cpu that SUPPORTS Celeron will work and I dont need to stay with the current GHZ ratings and etc.?Yes! as long as the specs of the systemboard says it supports celeron it will workOK thanks MR. Skipper!

THe only small problem I am seeing is that most of the boards are DDR2 and the one currently in my computer is DDR. I suppose I might have to buy new memory as well I didnt take that into consideration originally. If the systemboard supports DDR2 "yes" you need a new memory. but check the full specs of the systemboard.
