well looks like since im goin to have to buy a new MB might as well get one with a firewire port at least
i would love to have basically the same board with radeon 4200 and a firewire port if you know of any off hand id appreciate it
GOOGLE TO THE RESQUE HERE I COME!!
I think you may have problems finding the same Motherboard with Firewire port as it is a HP mobo, made by foxconn I think, they are not mainstream, and one with a firewire port is even more unlikely, and unless second hand, you may struggle to locate one. (Hopefully not)
Options:
You could get the same motherboard (if you can find one)and use a PCIe Firewire Card, like this:
Dynamode 3-Port PCI Express Firewire Card: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories
Or just buy a good make Motherboard with all the requirements you need, it is a AMD Micro-ATX motherboard so
you would need the same form factor and one that matches your CPU and RAM.
Hope this helps

new motherboard has come in, it is installed, and currently reinstalling windows hoping for the best
All is fixed now and running well
this is getting marked as solved and closed
thank you all for the help
