Identify slots in new motherboard

tremulous puma · 07-14-2005, 12:53 AM

I just obtained a processer, motherboard and case from a company who didnt want it any more (long story) and I want to find out the names of all the slots for the ram and PCI slots because they're different from my old mother board and I want to get upgrades that would be compatible with them.

Heres what I know so far:
Intel Celeron CPU 2.00 GHz.................that's about it, oh and I'm using windows XP

Any help greatly appreciated, love the site by the way....

We'll need MUCH more information than that to help you. Might I suggest using CPU-z and that should tell you the RAM. I bet it's some sort of DDR, probably like PC2700...

PCI slots shouldn't be any different than yours. Being 2GHz, I doubt it's PCIe. Do you think you could get us a model number? Or a picture?
