I suggest troubleshooting with the board to make sure the MoBo is the issue (have you verified the PSU didn't blow, etc?), there are numerous other possibilities.

This one is on sale cheap (but only supports 2 GB of memory and has 4 PCI slots)

Zipzoomfly.com has 3 listed but all are out of stock (and god knows if they will bother restocking I rather guess they won't).

Ebay has some listed as well. I would just search around if you insist on staying with the Athlon XP.

i try to trouble shoot and what i can say is there is a really small light on the board that lights up eveytime i power up how ever my screen dont turn on and my graphic pci cards fan wont run and all hard drives are runing also the first time this happen this really bad smell came from the board and i powered off and back on and smoke started coming from behind the chip but im looking at the chip and see no signs off damage
