the only style motherboards that i can think of that will take both AMD and Intel are the socket 7 and older boards, besides, who said it was an AMD in the first place, it might be a cyrix, or something else... either way, the motherboard needs replacement or just buy/build a new box... im still trying to figure out how this post relates to windows xp "Daphne Foldes" <okf22@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:uUjCFOkzGHA.4648@TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl...
