Item Description

Vintage AOpen AX63 Pro Slot 1 ATX Motherboard

Up for grabs is a pristine survivor from the golden era of PC gaming. This AOpen AX63 Pro has been tested to POST and is ready for your next Windows 98 or DOS retro build.

Finding these Slot 1 boards in this condition is getting harder every day, especially ones with a healthy set of capacitors and the original matching I/O shield plate. With the VIA Apollo Pro133 chipset and dual 16-bit ISA slots, this is the perfect foundation for a period-accurate rig that can handle both legacy DOS sound cards and late-model Slot 1 Pentium III processors.
