Anyone have an old XP2500M capable mobo?

I'm trying to upgrade Tina's computer to something out of the P3 866 era (yes, she's still running on the Intel CA810e), so I picked up a PCChips board for her, but it just doesn't want to play. It says the processor is an XP1100 and doesn't want to boot into Windows for me.

Running in Safe Mode it gets to Mup.exe and reboots. And the BIOS update program they offer won't run in DOS. So I'm stuck with a mobo that's a paper weight.

Anyone got a board laying around that they no longer need that I might be able to get working? My old Gigabyte AN-700Pro was a wonderful board (got that sucker clocked to XP3200 speeds on stock air cooling with no problem) but it died a horrible IDE failure death. Both IDE controllers failed on it over a period of a year.

So, anyone able to help me out here? :undecided:
