I need to get a new mobo, but use old components on it which are from another box due to a dead asus a7v mobo.

So do the latest mobos on sale support an old athlon 1200 fsb 200mhz, and PC133 RAM and a gf2 gts 4x AGP gfx card?

What should I go for? I'm not looking for anything fancy, but want to do this on a budget, for around the £50-60 mark. I dont want to if possible have to buy new ram etc.

Board must be ATX, AMD Socket A, Support a fsb of 100/200mhz and have ATA133 connections.

I was thinking MSI, or Epox maybe,

Any ideas, TIA

 

The processor & gfx card should be ok but I don't think any new mobos will support pc133 sdram, you'll probably have to invest in some ddr.

 

Dam, isn't ddr backward compatible with pc100/133 though?

 

DDR has diffrent amount of pins and pin layout. There are a couple of motherboards that have 2/3 of each type of ram slot. I will post back when I find one.

ECS K7S5A SKT A (SIS 735) ATX DDR/SDR With Audio Motherboard

K7S5A has a Socket-A processor socket for an AMD K7 type processors. You can install any one of these processors on the mainboard up to a 2.2+ AMD. The mainboard supports front-side bus speeds of 200/266MHz. This mainboard uses the SiS 735 chipset which supports a 4X AGP slot for highly graphics display, DDR interface and Ultra DMA 33/66/100 function, provides outstanding high system performance under all types of system operations. The mainboard has a built-in AC97 Codec, provides an AMR (Audio Modem Riser) slot to support Audio and Modem application.

 

Cheers Mmmmm not to sure about that ECS board, (read the reviews) any others? thanks.

 

This looks ok to me http://www.dealtime.co.uk/xPC-MicroS..._KT600_ATX_A_L

Question is how many of its ram slots support SDRam, just the one or two?

 

Blurb is wrong I think. VIA KT600 chipset is DDR only.

Just found the MSI spec and it's DDR only.

The SDR / DDR boards have never been that popular.

http://www.asrock.com/product/product_k7vm2.htm is one - no idea who sells ASRock stuff retail though.

 

Thx, but it is correct, heres the same board from another supplier,

Also MSI's spec also says it can use SDRam

Main Memory
• Supports six memory banks by using three 184-pin DDR SDRAMs
• Supports up to 3GB memory size
• Supports DDR400/DDR333/DDR266/DDR200 DDR SDRAM

Bonus I think this is the one.

Damnit no I'm misunderstanding the blurb it IS only DDR, ffs lol

 

I have been looking around - but all the mixed ram ones seem to be **** spec.

Might be worth just getting a used one from EuroPC or similar but with some extras onboard.

 

Yeh there only seems to be the 2 which are new. The ECS or ASRock. Probably go for the ECS its only £20, spec doesnt matter really, its only to run a tbird 1.2, thx for your help.
