mini-PCI Express socket:

Designed for: TV tuner or GPS Maximum Bandwidths: 2.5 Gbit/s B)

If I connected Intel PRO/Wireless 3945ABG Card into the Mini PCIe Slot it will work because this card slot is mini PCIe.

PIN1: GND, PIN2:+12V, PIN3: Sense, PIN4: Speed Control. The sense pin is used to relay the rotation speed of the fan and the control pin is an open-drain or open-collector output, which requires a pull-up to 5V or 3.3V in the fan. Unlike linear voltage regulation, where the fan voltage is proportional to the speed, the fan is driven with a constant supply voltage; the speed control is performed by the fan based on the control signal. It is possible to connect this monitor to the motherboard using either the HDMI Port or the DVI Port because the monitor has these two interfaces that the motherboard supports. It is better to use the A2 Slot (PCIe X16) because it will give the best performance for the graphic card to operate due to its high bandwidth and graphic cards produce large amount of data so the more the bandwidth the better the performance. Y1: Supports USB2.0/1.1 only with maximum bandwidth of 480Mbit/s. Y2: Supports USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 with maximum bandwidth of 4.8 Gbit/s. The price would be around 160-180 $ American Dollars. Memory type will be DDR3 and for two modules I will spend around 50$ with a bus of 1600MHz

Part B: 1- A) This motherboard supports two CPU's to be installed because this motherboard is for someone who needs faster processing like rendering or as a SQL Database for example. This Motherboard supports CPU with PGA Socket. B) This motherboard supports SD RAM only because SD RAM has two holes in it connection side while DDR has only one hole. 2This motherboard certainly belongs to Intel Corporate because it was the leading company in producing the server type. And this model is the only model that contained two CPU sockets using the SDRAM technology for RAM memory.

3- A) It might be possible because this motherboard is for server purposes so if someone has this old server working for a website for example or running

some old design problem or maybe has a database that contains data from a long time so this is a possibility. B) In part A the motherboard support a higher processor than this does even with 2 cores also the memory type because part A supports DDR3 which is the fastest module produced till now (There is DDR5 but I only have noticed it in Graphic Cards) also the internal bus speed. All these reasons make the motherboard in Part A better than this old one.
