motherboard options

[BlackArrow]

I'm looking at buying a new motherboard that fits an Intel Celeron 1.8ghz processor. The one I'm looking at is the ASUS P4P800 SE. Will my processor fit in this board? Also, how do I know if a motherboard is too big for my tower?

Also, does this board have a PCI Express slot or just an AGP slot?

Please delete one of these threads, I double posted.

If it's a socket 478 on the mother board than it'll fit. :)
If you're not sure check the boards manfacturer site to find out for sure. Everest or Belarc would tell you that too though IIRC.

That's an AGP board. If you go with their (Intel) newer chipset than it would be PCI-E but they need DDR-II on those.

with a celeron 1.8, cheaper is better.

I'd pick up a gigabyte matx, probably for less then $50.

:nod: I agree with zooner on this.

Can someone post a link to info about that board? I'd like to see the specs.

Is that board easily upgradable? If I buy a new processor int he future will it fit? Does this board perfrom well too?

If you plan on upgrading your processor in the near future, then I'd go with the asus or something like that.

how do I find the size of the mobo? my bro bought a mobo last month but it dodn't fit in his tower, is there any way to know if this board will fit my Dell Dimension 2300 tower other than physiacally putting it in my tower?
