No there aren't.I'm questioning if PCChips M830LR bios works on it.Basically the 830LR is a trimmed down K7S5A.

The mspaint is because the bios was not working at that time so i made a preview how it would look.😁

For internet,is it fine for loading 240/360p or maximum 480p HD videos right now?I ask that because I'm going for XP lite,and when I get a new HDD I'll turn around for Windows 7.Another question,does it take 256MB DDR memory?

If the case allows it,you can even shove a Athlon system in it with some proper cooling (if the PSU is not aligned it the vertical position rather the normal layout you're okay)(micro ATX only!)

Since yesterday was Sunday and I had 20 bucks in handy I thought upgrading to an Athlon XP rig.Got a old Delux MT375 case(Romania)and began building it.It works but right now I don't have any battery slot (coin slot if you remember)but that's not a problem,can live without it. Here are the specs: …

Hi! This is my new rebuild of the ASUS computer.Right now,the bios is down (no worries,I have replaced the BIOS chip and have a CD-RW for flashing and things).I have two Backup 2MB bios chips (the bios is 256K) Specs: Audio:Sound Blaster 16 Value-CT2770 Network:Realtek 8139A Video Card:S3 Trio 3D/2X …

Anything after Pentium 3 isn't retro for me.

I have a Jetway J993AN which supports 133MHz but I sadly don't know if the board supports ECC RAM.Also I have to reflash it since the original BIOS EEPROM (flash chip)died,and I got three chips for it: 1.Winbond W29C020-90 (I didn't label the chip) 2.(probably MX) unknown F29C51002T-90PA (came from …

Jetway J-993AN Rev1.2 is one of the best boards ever.Try it,also I have the BIOS update for it.

Jetway J-993AN Rev1.2 is worth using.

I'm in the East,and most of the gypsies I bought PC boards they worked exceptionally!I have a ASUS P2L97 for example which works flawlessly.Yet I want to change it because I want to make a XP system and the Pentium 3 1GHz is the best choice.

Let's keep fingers crossed until Sunday (that's when I get my boards from my country fair,prices are incredibly small!For 8 bucks i made an entire PC)that the board I'll find (if I will find one)will support 133MHz memory.

I never buy from the internet (I have small amount of money)and mostly the boards are at luck,but hey,as long as it's working,i'd make it superior to any dual core or Sempron AM2 PC.(weird)Also,I live in Bacau,Romania.I'll find myself one,at least new ones for very cheap.Last time I got a Acorp one …

Mostly I came across an Acer S58M one which didn't work and a Jetway 694AS Rev1.1 which also didn't work.

There aren't any ASUS Socket 370 boards or top manufacturer boards in my town(like Aopen,Abit and much like those) so that's why I included in the title.

So,what motherboard I should use? I have 3 Celerons (1 coppermine at 66MHz FSB and 2 Tualatins at 100MHz FSB 😮)and one early Pentium 3 (1GHz,it looks the same as a Celeron 600MHz). Also,I have decent cooling for it,and 384 MBs of RAM,and a S3 Trio 3D/2X.

Wait, why would you want XP on it, just use it for 95 or 98, and also, you can get lower end slot 1 Celerons and over clock them. They were fairly tolerant to high overclocking. Well,I plan this PC for some use,and my keyboard has the Space key missing.I use keytweak for swapping Space to work from …

Meh nuthin wrong with the board you got if you dont plan to play anything from like 2000 on up. Stick with most of the build, but up the cpu to a Celeron 433 and stick either a Voodoo 2 in it or buy a Voodoo 3 and you will be set. Sadly here in Romania there aren't any Celeron PPGAs (i.e 433 …
