- the thing is that my old motherboard isnt a dell... i kinda accidentlly broke it, and besides it was given to me broken. as for the dell motherboard, i'll check out the links and have a look for an micro atx case.. but my motherboard doesnt look like a standard e210882, it's got more memory slots and is mishapen lol, but thanks guys, i'll check that out asap ^_^

Hello...sorry to hear about your problem. The motherboard you bought is a microATX Form Factor board (9.60 inches × 8.50 inches)...they don't get any smaller. It should fit. The board D865GVHZ (E210882) was made by Intel for Gateway. Some were for Dell.Drivers and BIOS are still available...http://support.gateway.com/support/drivers/search.asp?st=pn¶m=2519041Good Luck...I hope this helps
all motherboards have a size known as "form factor"
*********** baord is Micro ATX,
youll have to buy a case that can fit that motherboard in or buy another motherboard that will fit in your case, youll have to find out your dell model number to find the form factor, easiest way would be search your old motherboard number

Suddenly both printer and 9 pin serial ports not working. I have been using a Dynalink V1456VQE dial-up modem and an old laser printer on these ports, but no more. Windows XP is not recognising any hardware connected to the ports. PCI modem and USB printer are working OK. The same plug and play hardware works on another PC.
