Hard to say without more info. Sounds like you have an older board, it might be AT or ATX form factor. Memory might be different types (SIMM/DIMM, EDO vs. SDRAM - older SDRAM running at a different voltage) etc. Frankly, I would suggest that you not spend any money on 'upgrading' an old system like that. Just get something newer. There are various socket A mobos that would be a good start.
