Is the Slot A motherboard in the normal microATX or ATX style?

I'll definitely consider it. Not sure if it will occupy the Gateway case. Maybe. If you can get a ASUS K7V-RM motherboard (Micro-ATX Slot A KX133 motherboard) then definately it will work,and you also get a AGP slot. If you can't find one,then this option for a small Slot 1/Socket 370 build is …

one would think so , but obviously no , the distance it traveled was about 400 miles , and it was well packed ,which only leads me to the conclusion that UPS were using it as a football. if anyone has an idea of how to fix this, I would be happy to hear it, since otherwise its actually a pretty …

That Gateway case......it's beautiful. Do a Slot A build in it.

The 600MHz Pentium 3 exists on Slot 1: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Pentium-III/Intel-Pentium%20III%20600%20-%2080525PY600512%20%28BX80525U600512%29.html Same for the 650MHz Pentium 3,except it's on Socket 370: http://www.cpu-world.com/CPUs/Pentium-III/Intel-Pentium%20III%20650%20-% …

I have been thinking about that,and if I have luck I maybe build a 950MHz "Spitfire"Duron system.I gotta leave Intel to rest a bit. Also,what markings do you have on your PCCHIPS board?I might be able to identify it somehow.

I had a PS1 box with a PS1 and cables and things in it,but which I thrown away in 2012.The PS1 died because I accidentally broke the BIOS chip,but I still have the case from it (is painted yellow though,but was normal gray when I hot it),the video cable and the power cord too.I had to throw away the …

The EPoX supports Celeron D,but the caps are bad and I don't bother fixing it. VIA PM800 was used in the Chaintech board,but I didn't have any PT800 board so far.Why avoid SiS?I'd more avoid Intel chipsets,and go for SiS/VIA.

Well,I then need to hunt a motherboard with VIA or SiS chipset. Isn't the 865 actually the "Breeds Hill"chipset?I've found out that my EPoX board used a 848P (865)chipset and supported a Celeron D.

KOB is Mercury,which is ECS.I had a KOB KT400 board on it that turned out to be a K7VTA or K7VTA2 if memory serves me right. EFA is Tekram I think,but I'm not sure atm. Lucky Star,they're a independent company.They made good boards too,almost to the standard of MSI and even ASUS. FIC,I don't need to …

Well,I get my boards from a "bazar"(or a fair to say so,where you get various things you need)and generally I pick what I can find in good shape.So far,from 2012 until now here's the list of what I remember I bought: 1.Luckytech P5MVP3 2.KOB KLE133 FSMX (was some kind of PChips M810 or such but …

And what if it turns out I have a 478 board from the below manufacturers?(excluding Chaintech,even though they make good mobos almost like Asus,sad they quit the mobo market) The manufacturers are: ECS VIA Soyo Soltek Intel any OEM(such as HP/Compaq,Gateway etc.) ASRock and any kind of these?

Alright.So,I managed to acidentally break my BIOS socket (PLCC)on my beloved Chaintech MPM800 motherboard,and it doesn't work anymore. :depressed: I am planning on tracking down a Socket 478 motherboard in my town that uses Award BIOS,but I then ask you first: Do all motherboards support Celeron D …

I've got a Magnum TV 5520 VT Stereo CRT television,using it as a TV and a monitor too.It only has SCART and RF,so I use a SCART-Composite adapter to use a PC or a console. For a short period I had a Pentium 4 rig installed under it,and now I generally use it with a Wii,a PS1 and a VCR. Pictures will …

Is the Dimension 8200 using a normal ATX board?You could use an micro-ATX Socket 462 board or a Socket 370 board.

The BIOS doesn't support the CPU,and the BIOS is already updated.

Back with another update. The EPoX motherboard is now replaced.It has a Chaintech MPM800-000LE motherboard,and I have onboard graphics,even though I don't use them.(I will use this system for emulating games on my TV and such,and my Radeon 7000 AGP card works the best)

Yeah,I really want to save this board.Just gave it a good cleaning now,I'll see if it makes difference.Also,installed the other 256MB stick,and now at least it shows DIMM at rows correctly. This board also has a temp monitor that is shown whenever I boot the system,which helps me check CPU temps.

Nice rig Nahkri.Though,why didn't you get a USB bracked that had both USB ports combined in one cable?Also,it would be good to have 128MB RAM on this rig.I had a Socket 7 rig too,that was capable of working either VGA or Composite(NTSC though,wish it didn't die,I would have used it in my BX rig as a …
