[clug] Oldish AMD CPU & Motherboard wanted

[Jeff Stiff]

Thanks Adam,

I have managed to track down a new board that has 3 PCI slots, so
therefore I can keep using my old PCI tuners, at least for another
year or so.

I did find out that both the CPU and motherboard had both died.

Thanks All,
Jeff.
