I'm thinking about getting a new MB and CPU to put in my already existing box. While I'm learning new things every day... I need to know what 'type' of board will fit in my BOX.

This is the MB in my mid-tower. Is it an ATX MB?

Thanks for your help.

Respectfully, CL

Not positive, but the spec sheet says 12-pin ATPWR header, which I'm assuming means AT, but again, I'm not sure, and can't tell from the picture. The memory slots are also parallel to the ISA/PCI slots, which also usually means AT.

Look at the power cable that plugs into the board from the power supply, if it has one long connector, about 2" long, it's ATX, if it has two about 1" long each, it's AT.

I think it's an AT board. Almost positive...
