Compatible motherboard for Nvidia 7300GS and X-Fi Extreme Audio

[Jonesybones]

Hi all,
I bought a Nvidia 7300GS low profile 256MB graphics card off someone in the forums, but didn't actually give much thought to compatibility
I think the current motherboard I have is a mini AGP (Fairly sure-ish), and is close to a few thousand years old.
I'm under the impression that I need a PCI-Express compliant motherboard with a full size expansion slot in order to accommodate the graphics card (Although I honestly have no idea).
In addition to this, I am looking at getting an X-Fi Extreme Audio sound card which also needs to be added to the mix.

The catch is that it has to fit into a space no bigger than 22cmx19cm (the size of the current motherboard).

The question is... can it be done?

Think your board is more of a micro ATX than AGP ( as AGP is a slot for graphics cards). ATX is the standard size motherboard, micro being a small version.

most micro atx motherboards are 244 by 244 ish, so you will be struggling to find one smaller...

yoyo tech has one here http://www.yoyotech.co.uk/product_in...6e0d05b0544389 the size is 9.6"(244mm) by 7.2"(182mm).

it has a PCI express slot for the graphics card, and a PCI slot for the sound card.

depending on what you have at the moment, it may mean a processor upgrade and a ram upgrade. You may be worth selling the graphics card and trying to find a AGP version.

Oops, thanks mate - meant ATX (I think my brain is slowly leaking out).

I took the thing to peices last night and with some jiggery pokery and a sprinkle of magic I might be able fit a bigger motherboard in...
I reckon I now have 22cm (maybe 24 with a squeeze) by 30cm of space to work with.
The only question I now have is whether or not I can find a micro atx board that's compatible with my cpu and ram...
