What screws can I use for an old motherboard?

[Wing0]

It's old enough that it uses aga for graphics. I took out the screws a while ago and I can't remember what they looked like. Can I just use modern mobo screws?

Screws are screws, as long as they fit the case stand and hold the motherboard it doesn't matter where they come from.

It's not like screws have changed dramatically in 20 years.

true that they are all the same.

Thanks, maybe you know of a place to buy aga gpu's? I think I broke mine by dropping it and a few capacitors are bent now.. same thing happened to my newer mobo.

I'm pretty sure you're referring to AGP (not AGA).

No normal retailer will have these in stock and you'll have to search something like eBay or Craiglist if you want any hope of finding an AGP graphics card.
