Replace KT133MB, processor & memory or just replace nForce2MB?

Should I replace an existing nForce2 MB a nForce2 ultra 400 MB and reuse the processor & memory or replace a older KT133 MB along with the processor & memory (big difference in cost)?
The nForce MB has a issue with the clock (gains 6 seconds a day, sometimes more) and hibernation (doesn't work through the serial port), both features I need for a program to work corectly. No, I don't want to run a 'time' program in the background all the time to 'band aid' the problem.
The KT133 MB would usually be used for web surfing, jpeg viewing/editing, maybe some games, but NOT anything intensive and some CD burning.
The nForce2MB is for a HTPC with a HD tuner card and a DVD burner.

Thanks..........

Sorry, I can't make out what you're trying to do. Retire the KT133, need advice for a good replacement? Retire the nForce2? Put the nF2 elsewhere?

Fix what is NOT doing its intended job. Right now, that seems to be the nForce Mobo. The KT133A was a classic and you say is still keeping you on the I-net, and I assume with plentiful SDR memory.

Maybe some other use can be found for the nForce Mobo than an HTPC.
