Alan:
You will have to get a Socket 7 motherboard. The good news is that there is
a wide selection. The bad news is that there are a lot of decisions you'll
have to make. One is the form factor question -- AT or ATX?  Back in late
'98 I opted for AT so that I could keep my old case, power supply, etc.
(Cheaper, too.) Today I'd go for the ATX. Read the specs carefully, because
there is a wide variation in the numbers and types of slots offered, and
that will affect how much of your old hardware will fit in the new board, as
well as how well it will accomodate newer features such as USB. Also check
out the types of memory chips that the new board will accept.
