You will need a ATX power supply. The ASUS P5A does not have AT power connectors.

I do apologise l, its the asus-p5a-b (I have edited the post to say that now)

Here is a pic the mobo

You can use either an AT or ATX PSU, the motherboard supports both. When using an ATX psu you'll have to hook up a power buttom to the front panel header. Some motherboards have a jumper for selecting AT/ATX power, not sure this one has tho.

You can mount the board in either an AT case or full-ATX case. If mounting in an AT case you can use an ATX psu with no issues - either repurpose the Reset button for soft power-on or add another soft-power button from another case and mount it to the case using a metal bracket (I used a glob of polixina - puddy like epoxy designed for fixing pipies).

lots of info here ASUS P5A-B and P5A info and help.

>ALI AGP + TNT

good luck. AT is fine, but there might be problem with AGP power

I will be using same case and I am assuming the current AT PSU will work fine and have enough power to power the new parts and old parts above

so everything should run no issues with specs above/old win95 build

how hot is riva tnt chipsets ment to get

Riva TNT can work even with passive cooling. Why Win95, Win98SE is better for that MB and CPU?

sorry for late reply, i was on holiday

i already have a win98se build with a p4 1.06ghz that covers 98/99 ish to about 2002 ish

this ss7 build is for windows 95 as the previous version (p233 mmx) was more like powerful version my 486 build and wanted something more in-between a 486 dx4 100 and p4 1.06ghz as some games ran a tad slow-ish on p233 mmx and too fast on p4 1.06ghz

only issue i had was with voodoo 1 and riva tnt was black screen after a boot and discovered that latest ref driver for voodoo 1 didn't play nice (with directx checkbox ticked or switched to voodoo 1 for glide games) with riva tnt and use the version before the latest drivers and work fines

I have this motherboard, it's running a V3 3000 agp without any issue
