Post subject:  Asus TX97-XE

I've recently aquired an Asus TX97-XE mobo with processor, sound card, network card. How easy will it be to get everything else I need to get it working?

TIA

Sounds like its a beasty of a board.

Shouldn't be too hard to scrouge bit and pieces from random places that I cant tell you where. I might even have some compatible memory. I'll just have to chech compat with my old P-III board I ve got at home.

I have some PC100 memory and it might work in a PC66 slot. No garuantees but I can send it to you if you want to try it out.

Quote:
The PC100 modules require faster speed SDRAM components than the PC66. These parts may have the same footprint and look the same but the parts numbers will be different. The faster components can run at the slower 66MHz speed but the slower parts cannot be used on the PC100 modules. The faster parts have a lower dash number that usually signifies the clock cycle time.


The motherboard has 2 types of memory slots.

My graphics card is an AGP variant so you will have to find a PCI graphics card that is compatible.

Wow, that'd be excellent mate

I've found a case and PSU (antec branded no less)....Graphics card quite easy to come by PCI wise...is it posisble to overkill? I can get a MX4000 64mb or a 9250 128mb for the same price...

Also, is ATX 2.01 backwards compatible with whatever the baord is? (Standard ATX)

You *MIGHT* need one of these, possibly: http://www.misco.co.uk/productinformation/~75824~WW~/Akasa%2024Pin%20to%2020Pin%20ATX%20Adapter.htm

its this one

http://www.antec.com/ec/productDetails.php?ProdID=06350#

But it don't say whether its 20 or 24 pin :roll:

Post subject: 

That will be 24 pin so you will need the adapter that Beefy found as the board has a 20 pin connection

Bugger...my current antec is 20 pin as well with a 4 pin extension... :lol:
