Hi JeffD, thanks. I only have to have it done by September, in time for the new trimester, so I don't mind waiting a bit for specs. Thanks!

Jason, I have a Gigabyte GA-7IX Rev 1.1. AMD Athlon Proc (K7500MTR51B) included - And 3 slots for PC133 RAM (2*128Mo used).

The other motherboard seems to be HS :(

Thanks Jeff! So I presume the Gigabyte is the one that runs Windows 98? (I did find drivers for it online.) If so, I just need to double-check the graphics is running at least 256 colors. If so, that'd be absolutely perfect.

So, it looks like the GA-7IX is an ATX, which should fit the cases I have.

What's the spec on the PSU? If I've got one with the same spec, only the mobo will need to be shipped.

Thanks again!

Yep ATX 200mm * 300mm * 65mm (65mm is the CPU cooling system)
PSU ? Power supply ? Sadly I didn' take it with me :( I can only read ATX PWR on the board.

Ehh, well, that's pretty universal. I've got three units with ATX motherboards and working PSUs here, so any one of those can become the new home for that mobo.

Sounds good like a plan! Follow me here on Dev.to (I just followed you), and then we can PM each other and I'll send you my mailing info. Thanks a million and one! :D
