	There are only two things that are likely to make me want to replace
the motherboard in this old Atom based M/B. Failure or more likely a need
for more than 4GB of RAM to keep the web browser happy.

	Even then I'm unlikely to buy a new motherboard - my file server
(erm NAS) is filling up and there are some nice looking pre-loved Proliants
on eBay with 12TB of drives and 12GB of RAM at a reasonable price - then
the file server motherboard with it's 8GB of RAM can go in the workstation.
