WTB: Old computer motherboard
 

I was doing a little inventory and it seems I have enough spare PC parts to put together a PC, sans motherboard. Anyone have a mobo that supports the OOOOLLLLLD AthlonXP 2400+ CPU? Someone sent one to me a while back but many of the caps are puffed and I'm afraid would make the system unstable. Replacing them is a PITA (been there, done that). Cheap would be good. :smile:

I believe I have an Iwill XP 333-R sitting on a shelf, I will look in the morning to make sure I still have it.

is it a 478 pin?
cause i have multiple old school MB's.
but not that old maby, i have an old intel and a gigabyte GA-8simlh

AMD Socket A, whatever pin count that has (didn't want to count them :smile:)

Edit: The socket on the mobo with bad caps says "Socket 462", so 462 pins...

Litterally just pitched one 2 weeks ago. Id would have given it to y. The hard drive crashed on the old girl and I just bought new to replace. It was just time. I had it sitting in the corner here for like 3 months and finally just yanked the hard drive and any other possibly usefull parts and pitched it. Wish i would known. I felt bad tossing it when it still worked. Just didnt have a use.

I have a bunch of old computers in my basement i'll check for you when I get home from work.

Never mind.

So, anyone have anything kicking around in their basements? If not, I may just get one of these: http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...805&CatId=1350

or just search eBay for something.

It doesn't need to have overclocking or whatever. It's just going to be used as a development web server. Might make it dual boot so I can run IIS/ASP/SQLExpress and Apache/PHP/MySQL.

I checked with my buddies, and all the oldies stuff have been scrapped.

Heck I still have a dual xeon workstation that I'm trying to get rid off. It's like a rock but it's considered old and scsi drives are considered stone age compared to the sas drives.

I'll have to check but I think I had one with a AMD K6 and the other one had a Athlon processor in it. I'll check tonight.

Thanks guys. Not a big deal if nobody has one; I just figured it would be better to recycle something instead of buying another mobo that will also end up in a land fill someday. :smile:

Ebay has a few boards that will work, as well as TigerDirect.

Brian I have an ECS motherboard K7VTA3 that has a 462 socket the processor that is in it says AMD Athlon, the other one is also an ESC but has the AMD K6 in a socket 7. Since I am not a computer guy (no really) I am not sure if this is what you are looking for or not. I was going to chunk them this weekend, but didn't so if they will help let me know.

Jeff

Actually, the K7VTA3 sounds like the perfect match. PM me if you want to get rid of it and we can work out the details, payment, etc.

Thanks a bunch!

BTW: Do you happen to know which rev it is? I want to download the manual and there are 7 revs. :oh:

Says Version 8.0 on the board between 2 of the PCI slots.
