Upgrade is complete... well for my part, anyway. That board works like a charm for basic computing, though the BIOS will allow a minimum VGA memory allocation of 16 Megabytes, which in mum's case is too much. Then again, 16 meg out of 512 is not all that much, even under XP.
The only glitch, for my part, was that with the old 300 Watt power supply, the board refused to power up. Turns out that this one actually requires the use of the 12Volt ATX CPU header. So I put that shiny new Enermax into this system... would have been overkill in the Legacy Box anyway.
