agp video card sound card any pci sound card

transLated:
How to know if the p4m800-m7a board supports various types of processor, 2005 MOBO RELIC. XP ERA.

What types of processors are supported.

ask them only they know this,(OOPS THEY FORGOT)
they check it in there bios too so bios must be current to allow maximum CPU choices.
the maker does not support antique MOBO now.
this mobo was made in 8 versions !, which is yours?
this is VIA chip set relic, no OS supports that now modern.
P4 is the CPU and Old Pentium D
socket 775 only. CPU, M7A LAYOUT.
BIOSTAR ENDED SUPPORT, (ASK THEM YET?)(gone)

HERE IS THE MASTER LIST (MEANS PURE LOGIC)

click 775 then click Pentium D
this is the AMD chip logic list not what 2005 year bios allows, (lost now that)

https://www.cpu-upgrade.com/mb-VIA_(chipsets)/P4M800.html

buy one and try, but all the other chips too are obsolete and not supported in newer OS. (above XP 2001)

drivers for p4m800-m7a is tough to get. but you can try in VIA Motherboard drivers. Try searching VIA website.

Follow this link Biostar P4m800-M7a Drivers and download all the drivers you need for the motherboard.

Good Luck!

Thanks for using FixYa!

The processor will run windows 7 but may not be very fast.
Look for the correct driver for the m/b at BIOSTAR.com

the p4m800-m7a v7.0 will work with a pentium d. I am currently running the p4m800-m7a v7.0 with a pentium d 2.8ghz and it works perfectly.

Your motherboard is a BIOSTAR right ?

Ok there are 2 versions I will post the drivers for those 2 versions.

P4M800-M7A v1.0
http://www.biostar-usa.com/app/en%2Dus/mb/driver.php?S_ID=92

These are the complete drivers, the sound driver is there too under onboard audio.

P4M800-M7A v7.0
http://www.biostar-usa.com/app/en%2Dus/mb/driver.php?S_ID=93

From what I can see they both use the same drivers.

I hope this helps.

The elitegroup website has a similar name but no A at the end
P4M800-M7
http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Downloads/ProductsDetail_Download.aspx?detailid=531&DetailName=Driver&DetailDesc=&CategoryID=1&MenuID=6&LanID=0

So from your model I would say it is a biostar, get it from the links above, if it is an elitegroup (ECS) get it from the last link.

The following page should have all of the drivers you need. Biostar P4M800-M7A Drivers

Should just be a pci modem... if not you could get an external modem.

You also have a manual for the Biostar? Find the serial No# printed on the Mb. Usaully found on a white sticker found on the serial port. With the serial No# in hand look up your board on Biostar's web site. Download the manual. You will find what CPU's your MB can take.
