Check this Intel page for compatible motherboards and chipsets. If you get another board, you cannot use the Dell disks to install the OS. You will need a new copy of Vista or Win 7.

i have a new install of window 7 so that wont be a problem. I just want a board that fit that sff case.

I think this board is an
Intel's G43 Express chipset

 

[bored7one4]

so any G43 express chipset will work?

It looks like the Gateway board supports DDR2 800 RAM. Is it a standard micro-ATX format? Do you need 2 or 4 RAM slots? Does the power supply have the 24-pin power connector?

Maybe something like this: MSI G41M4-F LGA 775 Intel G41 Micro ATX

Im pretty sure its DDR3. it saids it on the sticky. Ill have to look at the power connector when i get home.
