The OEM Intel D845GVSR Motherboard is fitted in a large number of Emachines. It is an 845GV/ICH4 chipset with support for 400 and 533 FSB Intel Processors. Graphics are onboard, though you may add a PCI card. Supports memory up to 2GB of DDR200/266/333.
There are 3 variants which merit a mention.The first is the original Emachines Seabreeze model with a typical bios string (which you can find in system information) of SR84510B.44T.0019.P03. This generally came with a Northwood 400FSB Celeron, Realtek ALC202A Audio and a modem card depending on model. The second is late 2004, and is the same except for a typical bios string of SR84510B.44T.0038.P07, which adds support for Prescott 533FSB Celerons D325 to D340 with their lower Vcore voltages. There are no official Bios upgrades for these two models.If you want to try fitting a Pentium in this motherboard, the best advice I can give you is to refer to this CPU support chart from Intel: http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/sr/sr_proc.htm. Bear in mind the 2.40A and 2.80A 1MB cache Pentiums are Prescott cored and will only be supported if your motherboard bios is already supporting a Prescott D series Celeron.Lastly the Gateway Seabreeze T3 variant comes with a Soundmax AD1981B audio chip, a red diagnostic LED and a latest Gateway bios string of SR84510A.46T.0018.P7E which takes Celeron support up to D350. There is a reliable Bios upgrade at Gateway for this model.Drivers are easy to find at the usual support sites for all models.This motherboard and bios and drivers info applies to UK Emachines models 2210 2220 2230 2240 3210 3220 3250 3260 4250 4260 and also T2742 T2796 T2798 T2824 T2862 T2885 T2890 T2893 T2894 T2896 T2898 T2958 T2984 T3624 T3828 T3830 T3958 D2823 D2880 H2824 H2862 H3624 H3824 H3958 W2888
