[ale] Abit-BP6 board half dead

[rob at frankenlinux.com (Robert Hoffman)]

Are you sure it's the socket that died and not the cpu? You might try 
swapping out the processors to make sure you know what died. Also, I just 
found both a replacement cpu and motherboard on www.ebay.com so you might 
start looking there.

I hope yours is an isolated incident; I'm running the BP6 with twin 466's.
