Hi Mark:

I will attempt to inject a serious response into this thread.

The latest Intel format for the PIII and Celeron is the "Socket 370". The
latest AMD format for the Athlon and Duron is the "Socket A". These sockets,
of course are not pin compatible.

Gigabyte makes 4 "Socket A" mainboards for the Athlon and Duron. They are
the GA-7ZX, GA-7ZXR, GA-7ZM, and GA-7ZME. The first 2 are ATX form factor,
and the last 2 are micro ATX form factor. The GA-7ZXR is the latest and
greatest from Gigabyte with IDE RAID and ATA100.

bye, Rick
