The following site may be useful in helping you work out which form factor the board is by the dimensions thereof. http://www.motherboards.org/formfactor.html I'm not very clued up as far as motherboards etc, go but I'd measure it to determine it's type. Also I think AT boards have a different keyboard or mouse socket - the bigger round one not the PS/2 type. I might be wrong here though. The following page has a section devoted to ways of identifying your motherboard. http://www.motherboards.org/newbie.html Hope this helps.
