Hi guys,

anyone have tried to put an a22p mb to work with an a20m LCD?

I've an old a20m, would like to upgrade the graphic card. as the ati M1 is soldered on the a20 mb, have to exchange the mainboard.

i'm going to order an a22p mainboard which is based on ati m3(rage 128) quite faster then ati m1 I supposed. If I could use this a22p UXGA mb work with my old XGA(a20m LCD). that would be great. otherwise I may have to order an UXGA LCD for this a22p mb.

any experience or suggestion on this matter, will the a20m case hold the a22p mb? Thanks in adavance.

FYI: a20m: PIII700(2628-41G, 14.1 1024x768, ati m1)
a22p: 1G (UXGA, ati m3)
a22m: 1024x768, XGA, ati m3.

To my knowledge, LCD and MB are matched for A2x series:

SVGA/XGA All except below
SXGA A20p, A22m (2628-Sxx)
UXGA A21p, A22p

A22m

Most are SVGA, XGA. Only 2628-Sxx are SXGA+.

Thank you all for the helpful info, now I am clear that the only usable board is an a22m for my XGA LCD.

I'll try a a22m with ati m3 shortly.

for anyone who may have similar questions and being here, here is a shourtcut I have found:
