Not sure. I think it also depends on the chassis as well. Try it and see if it works. If not return it.

Many thanks for your replays . So, I should test it my way? Well, what is about an Area-51 m5500 with Pentium M, DDR2 & i915GM ( aka Uniwill 259EN3 )? Would a m5500i (R3) motherboard fit in it?Thx for some info .
