Why would you run Vista on Duron 1300? Why would you run Duron 1300 anyway? It's way older then everything else in your system.

I tried it on a 500 mhz P3 BX rig back in 2007, it worked ok aside from the fact I was using a Riva TNT for a graphics card. OP should using 98 or XP instead.

One reason I've been turning for Vista SP2 is because it has updates and supports. And BTW,I've seen some Duron/Athlon XP systems run Windows Vista. (iirc around 2007/8 or so)

The Duron 1300 is the only CPU I've got it to post with. I have a Sempron 2400+ and a Athlon XP 3200+ but neither POST. The Sempron 2400+ wouldn't POST (yet it would POST on a ECS K7S6A)by giving a black screen,and the Athlon XP 3200+ turns on for about 1.5 - 2 seconds and shuts off. The Sempron 2400+ seems fine,however the AXP 3200+ seems to have some very light brown on the underside center. I also have a 2200+ though,but I didn't test it yet.

Oh,and does anybody know how can I make the motherboard talk? It has a speech option in the BIOS,yet it doesn't do anything when enabled.

I would not care about the updates if I were you. My Athlon 3200+ runs XP SP2 and I even surf the net with it from time to time. It's not like you have any crucial data there, why bother?

No crucial data in there right now,but I will save some in the future. Plus it's my backup machine. Right now I need the SIL3112 drivers to reinstall Windows.

Just finished building it back. Replaced the Rexpower PSU with a SumVision KY-450ATX that I've recapped today.

Also,here's another one:

MSI K7N2 Delta-L
1GB RAM
Athlon XP 1900+ 1.2GHz
Rexpower PX-400 PSU (better than the gutless wonder it came with)
Lite-on DVD-ROM
20GB HDD
no OS
FX5500 256MB - passive heatsink
C-Media 8738 PCI audio
D-Bracket
RTL8139 NIC / nVidia nForce NIC onboard)

This one doesn't POST though,need to check what's wrong with it.

Just fixed it. The problem was the FX5500 being dead (it worked until that point),so I replaced it with a MSI Geforce FX5200 w/TV out and now it works.
Though,it seems it doesn't like 166MHz FSB jumper setting.
