What mobo to buy?

[rky60]

I have a Duron 1.33GHz CPU and 256mb of PC133

The mobo needs to have onboard video/sound/LAN

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks in advance

There was a Duron 1.33?

I thought there was a Morgan core at 13x100 (1300) and an Applebred core at 10.5x133 (1400). I'll assume it's a Morgan, since the Applebred would most likely be coupled with DDR.

regardless, you are looking for a Socket A board with SDRAM and onboard video and audio?
You certainly aren't going to be finding anything new. Scouring eBay is probably your best bet. Be warned, onboard audio of that vintage may not be very good at all.

Pretty much anything you find that has the features you want should support that CPU. Note that you don't even need 133MHz FSB speed to run that CPU, though it would be better to run it at 10x133 than 13x100.

I'd say look for something with the VIA KM133A chipset or the KLE133 chipset. I think the KM133A may not have built in LAN, but the KLE133 does. I think the KLE is available in DDR and SDRAM versions, I think there were even some boards that supported either (but not both). I'm reaching back a littel in my memory, so some stuff is hazy, but hopefully accurate enough to get you on the right track at least.

...does not have onboard video.

See whether you can grab a leftover M810L board (not M810D!) somewhere, or an M825 in the version that has SDR and DDR slots (most don't).

MSI KM2M Combo-L. Onboard video, sound, LAN, takes SDRAM or DDR.

Ditto.......... the MSI KM2M Combo - L is the correct answer for your needs.

Thanks for the help everyone, does anyone know where I can get it? I've been searchin everywhere on the net. Found a few, but either out of stock or the reseller ratings are bad

Thanks again

I have one I'm no longer using. It was running fine when I decided to go to an ASUS a7n8x-E DX. It's back in it's original box with all the documentation and driver/utilities CD-ROM. If you are truly interested in obtaining this model board; email me at larhyde@telus.net and we can negotiate a price. I'll ship anywhere in North America.

newegg doesn't appear to be selling that board anymore. It's exactly what I thought of when I saw the thread, but first I went to check newegg, and nothing they sell supports PC133 anymore.
