    The mother board that I have has a part number that says:
    PN: 60-N3CMB1300-A06 K53E

    Silk screened right on the mobo it says:
    K53SD Main Board
    Rev 2.0​

    I see there are a number of mobo options on ebay but the part number is not "Exactly" the same.
    The layout and capacitors appear to be correct however (for example) the part number and mobo say this:

    PN: 60-N3CMB1300- D08 K53E

    Silk screened right on the mobo it says:
    K53SD Main Board
    Rev 2.3
    ​
    I have seen "higher" revision numbers too . . . all with "K53E" following the "PN" number and various higher revision numbers (as high as 6.0) . . . some with slightly different numbers of Capacitors, but all with the same dimensions and mounting hole options.

    Can anyone tell me if all these mobo's are interchangeable or not?

    Thanks for the help.
