Choosing a Mother Board

Posted on 22.54 by halomoan

Choosing a Mother Board -

There are many things to consider when selecting a Mother-Board. The CPU, type of RAM (and the amount) you intend on installing
in the system, number and type of slots (ISA, EISA, VLB, PCI) and their location in relation to the case you will be putting the Mother board in. Upgradability, Integration, Expandability, and Proprietary are some buzz words you should get a little familiar with.
Photo of Freetech's P5F79 - socket 7 motherboard... my personal favorite for the standard Pentium chips by Intel and AMD.

Intel Triton VX chip set, 66MHz bus paths

512K external cache memory,
bullet
4 SIMMs, 3 DIMM,
bullet
5 PCI (one shared), 3 ISA sockets, and
bullet
Awards new Pentium BIOS.

Drive Controllers are EIDE (supporting 4 EIDE devices),
bullet
1 parallel SPP or ECP/EPP bi-directional printer port,
bullet
2 16550 UART Serial (Com) ports (one can be defined as the new USB port), and
bullet
a PS/2 adapter port.
I have about 6 of these working in my shop (including my email server), and another few dozen in customers systems... these are a bit more expensive than most, but have been problem free and very solid. Only down side, they won't run the AMD K6-233 or the newest 266 MHz chips.
