You'll need to know
1) dimensions of the motherboards to see if they will fit.
2) Do they all have the same power expectations.
3) where do the processor, ram chips, power connections and ide controller connections reside in correspondense to your case. You should be able to look at pictures of the mobo's online to get a good feel for them, and there length/width specs should be there as well.
Good Luck

Motherboards in general comes in two different dimensions for the mounting holes namely AT and ATX systems. The older AT has different power connectors on the board, there are two separate connectors and connect black wires from these two connector next to each other. The newer ATX design has only on single connector which is keyed and you can only connect one way.
First look in you psu system to determine which system is your existing board and the mobo you want to put in. If they are the same design, the mounting holes will match and you can replace it. The software comes with the older board will not work with the new board though so you may have to restore the m/c with different s/w.
