Slot 1 motherboard. Notice slot in upper right side of board.

Socket type motherboard. Notice large white socket

Slot 1 motherboards were for the Intel Pentium 2 processors and some early AMD 350 to 750 processors. I think AMD starting with the 600 processors switched to socket A. Intel switched soon to socket 370 which they called FC-PGA.

socket size has to match your processor. most new processors (AMD, anyway,) are 939.
