my daughter tipped over my computer and as a result fried on of my RAM slots and my PCIe Slot... and that is just the stuff i currently know. now the computer still works just not as well and i cant use my new graphics card or all of my RAM. i am looking to replace my board but i cannot figure out what the specific part number is. what i can tell you is that the computer is a Gateway DX4870-UB21P and the motherboard has this printed on it: IPIMB-AR rev 1.02a... i will look for more numbers and identifying marks here shortly and update this but any help would be awesome... Thanks in advance...

hi connor
for purchasing mobo it depends on cpu (tell me the model like core 2duo, i3 550 or i5 4460)
so purchase any mobo but it support your cpu that's the matter.

my CPU is a i5-2320... maybe i can just swap out the M/B with a different one that is compatible with my CPU on my Prebuilt system and all will be well again? Would that work?
