	MoBo Time! Support Apolyton, buy Alpha Centauri

I've been out of the Motherboard loop for waaaaay too long, and now i'm thinking about buying a new one for an old box i recently recieved from a friend.

the thing is a pentium 133 with 48 megs of ram, onboard video

i want to use this box as a server @ uni (http, ftp, whatever) and i'm thinking i could go for anywhere from 600 - 1ghz, and 512 mb of ram. i have a leftover ATI Raedon VE, so an AGP slot is essential if i want to save ome cash.

what kind of motherboards / processoers do you guys reccommend? i don think this will come down to an intel / amd flamefest, but if it looks like it's commnig to that, please refrain

A motherboard that accepts processor over 600 mhz wont fit in that old box that you just got......sorry....trust me I tried.


Spec.

	Increase the size of your Attachments

well, i had planned to spraypaint it red anyway, that just gives me more of a reason to do so.

real quick: how can i tell what size my mobo is? i cant see any such markings at a quick glance.

also, my power supply is 300W. do i need any more for a mobo described above?
