It's crucial for a mainboard that the BIOS is upgradeable (flash-ROM makes it
possible to upgrade the BIOS with a downloadable BIOS file and an appropriate
program).

for such a processor, I think a mainboard from 1997 is too old.
the mainboard must have the slot the processor fits in.
the mainboard must support the voltage levels the processor uses.
make sure the mainboard is suitable for the processor you want.
