micro atx... lga775 and agp ... takes different memory though ddr2

all depends on how much you want to spend on getting it to live again...
might be worth starting from scratch and going for a pci-e graphics system which will out perform what you had....

* Support DDR2 533 DDR2 SDRAM

well some cheaper/basic motherboards can be had for as little as £30-40 so if yours is older(which it sounds like it is) then you wont get much for it

Good news for philc and bad news for Eagle then
