Recommendation for a Socket 370 all-in-one?

Hello,

An old machine of mine died a while back during an attempted BIOS flash... It had been previously been experiencing random stability issues.

The stability problems may have stemmed from the fact that it was an early P2-era Slot 1 mainboard running with a ~400 - 500 MHz PPGA Celeron via a Slotket adaptor and a GeForce 4 MX AGP card sitting in a slot that was not *quite* AGP compliant. 😉

Anyway....

I am trying to put together a system for my dad to use. All it needs to do is basic word processing and e-mail.

Can anyone recommend an "all-in-one" vid/sound/network i815 board that I can drop in as a replacement to get the system running.

Presumably, a newer i815 board can still run with a 66MHz FSB to use with the existing CPU and PC66 memory... Right?

At some point in the future, when I have the funds, I'll put in a P3 and some PC133 memory...

Thanks,
David
 
Thanks for the lead...

Many of their boards are microATX... will these fit in my regular ATX case?

Hi,

OK, i just called JustDeals... they don't have any of the mainboards in stock...


Any other leads?

Thanks!

Though, correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that an NLX motherboard will fit in a standard ATX case....

The only ATX i815 boards I see on Pricewatch are ~$50... hardly worth it...

Still looking.....

Check out SiS-based boards too, based on a 630 or 635 chipset. SiS made some really efficient and stable chipsets for Socket370.
