    Maybe you can help?
    I have a Intel® Server Board S815EBM1 that is probably the root of an XP install issue (HDD controller) I'd like to replace it with a mobo with an agp expansion slot for as cheap as possible. I already have 512mb SDRAM so would like to use what I have before further spending.

    I've been looking around the net trying to find something that will work but I'm running around in circles (no longer sold/confusing spec etc) as I don't fully understand mobo/processor compatibility.

    This is what i think i need.

    SDRAM DIMMS
    Micro ATX
    Intel Celeron, Pentium III
    FC-PGA2 socket
    AGP expansion slot

    I have and 80 GB ATA 133 HDD and 3 SDRAM sticks (128, 128 and 256) and Im based in the UK.

    Can anyone give me a link to a board that is available to replace the one I have (doesn't need to be a server board)? I'll do my best to supply any more info.

    I found this one on ebay that looks about right. Will it be a suitable replacement?
