Issue in System

I found an issue in the board where the pin of motherboard is bended so I am going to change the motherboard.Can anyone give the details which motherboard supports the Intel Core 2 Duo E7300 @2.66 GHz/3M

I thought this was a server? But either way that is a Socket 775 cpu. What computer is this? is it a custom computer or a brand name, if it's a brand name you'll need to buy the motherboard from the manufacturer for the computer or just replace the whole computer. If it's a custom computer you could replace the motherboard.

In this system only Software RAID 1 is configured in the CentOS 6.2.Can I change the hard disk to be connected in the new motherboard such as GA-G31M-ES2L.Whether the RAID 1 supports in this motherboard without any Data loss?

Motherboard crashed is confirmed and I need to change another hard disk.Whether I need to buy the same motherboard are can I use another motherboard for booting RAID 1 configured system

You need the matching motherboard for your server, can't just be any motherboard that supports the processor.

That's not really related to what we are saying. We are saying that motherboards are not blindly interchangeable. What is the model number of the machine in question?

Motherboard has no connection to the software, which is where the RAID is.

If it's running a Core 2 Duo, replace the computer. It's probably cheaper.

Context. Remember where he is. I'm sure that that is not true.

@scottalanmiller Model of motherboard is Asus P5N75-AM

Asus is a good board, for a home system (not considered appropriate for business use here.) I would, if possible, replace with the same board. Is there a reason that you are looking at a different board? Asus are not the cheapest, I guess you could save a few dollars but only the same board is going to be a transparent switch to the operating system. That board appears to still be available here, I assume that it is there as well.
Although AJ is correct, the cost of this board here in the US is easily double the cost of a new computer that is newer.

Whether the same board supports the RAID 1 at the same SATA ports

For a newer model board? That's not true. For the cost of an OLDER style board? Absolutely.

Besides, isn't he basically neighbors with all the countries the computers come from?

First, no, the distance from where he is to Taiwan, where nearly all computers of this type and obviously this one, come from is the same distance and similar terrain to saying aren't you basically a neighbour with Venezuela?
Second, being physically close (he is not) does not make things cheap. Shipping from Taiwan to the US has lower import barriers and lower shipping cost (nothing but water.) Shipping to him takes far more tariffs and shipping distance unless you put the parts on a plane which quadruples the shipping cost.
Third, low cost parts come from the used market. As used markets are more scarce and more sought after there, this makes no sense.
Fourth, low cost computers in much of that region don't originate there but originate here, in the US. That is where our low cost computers go when they are done with life here. The cost to acquire them here is so low and their value there is so high that there is an entire market in collecting used computers in the US, bundling them and shipping them to southern Asia and selling them there! Clearly the cost to acquire them directly in those markets is extremely high compared to here.

Hmm, I suppose.

Or interesting note, did you know that New York City is directly north of Bogota?

And Buffalo is directly north of Panama City?

I know Ecuador and New York are in the same time zone. My cousin lived in Ecuador for over a decade, so that's how I know that...

We should start another thread as we've completely derailed BUT.... how did he like it? I'm planning on being in Panama over the summer and Argentina in January. Can't wait to spend some time in Central and South America.
