Hi, I need to replace my processor fan with a new one because it keeps making a loud noise when booting. I am currently using the fan/heatsink that came with my boxed Athlon 1900 XP Processor.

I'm trying to list a motherboard on EBAY, but have no idea what socket it has. It used to hold a 300MHz Celeron. Does that make it a Socket 370? Here is a picture of the motherboard. http://web.mit.edu/hyalaman/www/comphardware/motherboard.jpg Thanks. Hareendra Yalamanchili
