    ...so the short story is that I need a new MB for my M17XR1 with twin 260's. I see many different MB's that say they are for the M17xR1, but are they ? Will any M17X MB work ? I'm not willing to pay Dell $500+ for a "kit" that they can't break open and separate to install a $200 MB, but I also want to be sure I do end up buying the correct board.

    Any help any of the guru's have would be GREATLY appreciated.

    Thanks !

    Hello, Pitster, welcome to NBR.

    The correct part number for the M17x motherboard is F415N.

    Here are a few:
