Just a WAG, but some motherboards require matched pairs of memory
sticks. Your original two 256 meg sticks would be a matched pair. If
you wish to expand, you may need to go with two 512 meg sticks, or two 1
GiB sticks. Probably not worth the money, or the effort.

I am running an Athlon 64 3000+, on an ASUS A8N-E motherboard, with good
success. There are a few things that need to be set in the BIOS, to get
USB to work right, and I recomend a PS/2 style keyboard, rather than a
USB keyboard, because you need to turn OFF legacy USB support, which
efectively disables a USB keyboard, until the drivers get loaded (if you
don't turn off legacy USB support, the drivers don't load). That makes
selecting a boot system, from the Boot Manager menu, impossible, without
a PS/2 type keyboard.

I've got a PS/2 trackball. :( And a Northgate Omnikey keyboard.

Anyone know offhand if a Kensington Expert Mouse will work as USB?

You should be able to simply move the disk onto the new board, and go
(after tweaking a few drivers), but you will need to have eCS 1.2R, or
later, to be able to install directly on a system like that.

I've got 1.2R, I believe (is there any way to check?)

Some more info on the possible replacement board below. Will Genaud
driver handle the sound chipset? If so, how do I install them and
uninstall my Sblive driver (I can do that before any change is made?) I'd
be using an nVidia 6200 video card with 256M, and Snap supports that
chipset.

Socket: 939.
Chipset: nVidia GeForce 6100 (PCI Express x16, ATA-133) and nForce 410.
Super I/O: ITE IT8712F.
Parallel IDE: Two ATA-133 ports.
Serial IDE: Two SATA-300 ports controlled by nForce 410 south bridge,
supporting RAID 0 and 1 and NCQ.
USB: Eight USB 2.0 ports (four soldered on the motherboard and four
available thru I/O brackets, which don't come with the motherboard).
Firewire (IEEE 1394a): No.
On-board audio: Produced by nForce 410 south bridge together with Realtek
ALC655 codec (six channels, 16-bit resolution and 90 dB SNR). On-board
video: Yes, produced by GeForce 6100 (GeForce 6 graphics engine).
On-board LAN: Yes, Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) controlled by nForce 410 south
bridge together with Realtek RTL8201BL chip.
Buzzer: Yes.
Thanks for the assistance,


Alan
