I need this answer as fast as possible. The question is not motherboards that were made 40 years ago but the age of the parent. PLEASE!!

is very simple get a normal motherboard and cheap and it works thats all..p4 would be better..

From personal experience, I'd say no. I bought one before my 1st semester in college. The summer before my 2nd yr the motherboard died on me-- days after my warranty was no longer effective. The laptop had never been dropped or anything of that nature, so I don't know what caused the motherboard to die. If you do get one, get an extended warranty just in case something goes wrong in the long run.

Currently, you shouldn't be really worrying about the motherboard, but the Graphics Card and Sound Card\n\nI installed 1 year old Linux on my new AMD-X2 machine and had no problems with motherboard compatibility...\n\n________________________\n\nThe hardware being onboard or seperate will not make a major difference if hte drivers for them are not supported by Linux, so, if the drivers are available, then, think of doing two things:\n- Give Kernel.org a visit and download hte latest/ionstall the leatest release\nhttp://www.kernel.org/\n- Install the Hardware drivers\n\nNew Kernel has backward support to old hardware\n\nIf the Hardware device is a couple of years old and the version of Linux used is a recent version, then don't think that you should really worry about compatibility...\n\nRegarding whether the drivers ar esupported by Debian or Not, check with the motherboard vendor (maybe check their site and download the appropriate version if necessary)

RDRAM is completely different from ddr2, ddr3, etc.  You'll need to find pc1066 RDRAM.  As no current motherboards support these modules, they are not as widely available and are somewhat more expensive.  You might want to consider a full upgrade.

Go to this link, click the Scan My System button and it will tell you what your motherboard can handle.\n\nhttp://www.crucial.com/index.asp

2 different slots.... physically impossible unless the motherboard accepts both types...then, I dont think so...never tried...(I have an older motherboard that has both slot types...(rare)\ngo to Crucial for a free system scan that will tell you exactly what you need as far as speed and type.... this info is needed to shop for the appropriate RAM for your machine.....

A new motherboard will almost certainly cost less than a PCI-to-PCI adapter - and anyhow, where would the cards physically go?\n\nYou also may wish to consider using USB or Firewire/1394 peripherals instead of using PCI cards.

If you use and Intel Chip try my FAV program\n\n\nhttp://www.intel.com/design/motherbd/active.htm

I would ask at http://tomshardware.com in the forum under overclocking section.

Try the source link below\n\nBrad says:\nHere's a link to the manual for that board in case you don't have one:\n\nftp://ftp.epox.com/support/motherboard/manuals/p55vp.pdf\n\nIt mentions K6 but not -2 or -3. Vcore supports 2.5, 2.8, and 2.9. Not what the doctor ordered for most -2 and -3 chips but I think a previous thread got into the more rare -2 chips that run at 2.5 volts, the imbedded processor and/or mobil models if I remember right, so there should be a chance. Check the following page for AMD docs and ID info on them:\n\nhttp://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/TechnicalResources/0,,30_182_739_1102,00.html\n\nA BIOS update may also be required for the board to recognise and properly use a -2 or -3. Latest BIOS dated\n04/22/1997 is at:\n\nhttp://www.epox.com/html/english/support/motherboard/bios/vp.htm

if its a motherboard that is relativley decent and you know the brand of the motherboard itself, I would suggest visiting the manufacturer's website.  Most of the websites for manufacturers will have more information on the product including online manuals.  You may find more there.

I'm sorry, but there's not enough information here for me to do that. I'd need to know the exact make and model of the motherboard. But... are you sure you mean jumper settings? Jumpers are little pieces of plastic that connect two posts on the motherboard, you have to physically move them to change settings, it wouldn't happen on accident. Regardless, to do anything more we will need to know the make and model.

When you said old I thought you meant 72pin SIMMs or even 30pin ones that had to go in banks of them, or 486 pentiums. Your best bet though is try to find out when businesses or goverment offices upgrade as they usually just skip stuff.\n\nOnce in Leicester, DMU just skipped a load of stuff and there was me and a few others climbing through, getting cards, ram and cpu.\n\nGood hunting!

I don't have a lot of time here, but why not get a brand new motherboard?  That's the heart of the computer, don't cheap out there.  Get a state-of-the-art motherboard and build an awesome computer.  Buy all the memory the MB will take.  Power supply, DVD burners, CD burners, expansion slots, a tower casing, 19" flat screen monitor, and so on.\n\nIf you are trying to build a cheap system, why not just buy one for even cheaper and save all that work?

If you have an HP i doubt the BIOS would support overclocking. You could check and see but unlikely.

ECS motherboards are more afordable, and questionably less quality.\n\nI own two ECS motherboards (AMD64) (AMD semptron) and both work great =) at the rate computer components are changing, id rather have disposable motherboards than a top of the line one, which will be obsolete by next year\n\nedit: obsolete might be too extreme, lets just say most likely to be of restricted captabilities
