Excuse me butting in Peter Stoba but will that 31124 work in my MS-7173 ver:1A mainboard? Eric.

stoba got banned a while back m8.

from what i can find thats an old emachine board and with a 915 chipset, it only supports pentium 4 not the newer cpu sry.

you could check to see if a newer bios adds more support but im not sure the chipset will.
