Hi.
        The AMD may be or may be not fried, but also the mobo (specifically
the 3.3V supply) may be or may be not fried; the possibilities are so three.
So getting other chip may not be the solution in two of the three cases.
        Personally, I would first check 3.3V supply, and if faulty it
should be easy to repair.
