    "Just call me sentimental"

    Now you might be more inclined to call me mental, I said it first. I'm sitting here looking at the case my first internet capable pc came in. It's an Acer, original board had a DX2-66 mhz, 16 mb edo, 14.4 modem, trident VDA, crystal sound card' and a western digital 450mb hard drive, 2x cdrom, AT form factor. When you get old you get attatched to things, my wife did through out my plaid leisure suits.

    Now I want to resurrect this old case for fun. It is a mid tower with 3-3.5" and 2-2.5" bays. Again it is a AT form factor case with a 300w AT power supply.

    I tried a Via-503+ with a K6-2 500 mhz, 128mb pc100, 16mb agp video, 8 gb hard drive, win98se. I hated this board. Nothing but trouble.

    I want to try a socket 370 but I need it in the AT format. I would appreciate tips, "not quips", on the best board and fastest cpu for this AT case.

    Appreciate any help in advance.

    The only AT form motherboard I have found recently is a PC Chips (I know, the evil brand) LMR755. It's an all-in-one type socket 370 board that can take up to a 1GHz Celeron.

    The only other one I can think of is an ASUS P2B-F, but I could never find one for sale new (Ebay?).

    Good luck, it could turn out to be a pretty tough search.

    Then use the sloket adapter.
    Geez, I still have a couple of them.
    There are all a couple AT?ATX boards out there.
    I'll check if you'd like.

    No need for PM.
    You can actually buy that board from SOYO.
    Looks like their eshop is down until tomorrow, though.
    I have got the adapters collecting dust.
    But, I may have a BX board in stock.
    NEW TOO.

    oops! Sorry about the mix-up. I'm at work, not at home where I have immediate access to my stash of old hardware. I was looking for a slot-1 AT mobo a year or two ago and I'd swear it was an Asus board that came up during the search (I must have gotten the model number wrong).

    I won't bother verifying the PC Chips model number; it looks like you've got a line on what you want.
