Oldish PC Motherboard - Socket 7

Sorry if this looks or seems very picky. I am considering an ideal situation, but am open to offers. Anyway, here goes.

I have recently got an 8 bit isa soundblaster, so need to build a PC around it.

Looking for a socket 7 motherboard. These usually had Pentium class processors plonked in them. Ideally it would have an ATX PSU port, but that may me neigh on impossible. ATX Form factor & rear blanking plate are ideal. I would consider a Super Socket 7 (AGP Support) if it does support ATX psu.

What it must have is ISA slots, preferably 2+ 16 bit ones, and at least 2 pci slots. It would be ace if it would run a P133, and underclock to a P60 or below. In the long term, I would like a SoundBlaster, GUS, PCI GFX & possibly SLI voodoo, maybe even a powervr.

I would prefer no on-board VGA or Sound, but if these can be disabled, then good. Built in IDE controller preferred but optional.

Memory type is unimportant. Ideally have PS2 Keyboard & mouse, but I probably can work around this. Again, processor would be nice, but I can source on of these.

Again, sorry if this seems very focussed, but if you have something close then drop me a PM.

It'll be used as a retro pc, running the overly criticised DOS operating system, for gaming and demo running.

Cheers for reading,

I have an old system in storage, I think it is a 233 mmx. It has isa slots, but I hope you find something more local, since shipping is over top asking price, like max 10 eu if it still works..

I have 3 socket 7 boards here:

One is Intel VX chipset, 4x ISA, 3x PCI, 4x SIMM slots, and I think a 512KB COAST module. only goes up to 66mhz FSB, AT form factor and PSU socket

One is VIAGRA chipset (yes really, apparently also known as Apollo MVP4) with 1x ISA 1x PCI, 3x DIMM slots, onboard sound and video, supports up to 124MHz FSB, AT form factor with ATX and AT PSU sockets

One is Apollo MVP3 chipset, 3x PCI, 2x ISA, 2x DIMM, AGP, apparently supports 100MHz FSB, AT form factor with ATX and AT PSU sockets

I haven't tested any of them yet, just found them in my stash.

shipping from australia will be expensive! But these aren't exactly rare, it shouldn't be hard to find something closer...

I could probably help out as well I sorted some stuff out for was it milfos ???

Thanks for the offer on these - I agree that postage would be a bit of a killer for this, especially from Australia.

Hmmm. Could I trouble you for the 233mmx and the "P133?" and a cooler or 2? Sending PM :thumbsup:

PM Replied to. A grand motherboard it is, and will be accepting :)

Oh no,
This is a bit confusing. A want-thread has turned into 2 purchases from different members. :roll:

Well, payment sent to ratfink for the motherboard, and payment sent to cosmicfrog for the CPUs.
