Good buy for old system lovers.

I just won an auction at eBay for a P2 350 chip for $38.50 and I already have one that came with my old Compaq SETI cruncher so I was wanting a cheap dual slot 1 motherboard. The cheapest I found was about $100 on pricewatch and they didn't even have all I wanted. I then found one for $60 manufactured by a subsidiary of Tekram, who in my opinion, makes excellent products. They are known for excellent SCSI controllers. Anyway, it's a 440BX based dual slot 1 motherboard good for processors at 350~700. The name of the manufacturer is Maxtium, but is entirely Tekram based.

Here is full specs on the motherboard:

Thought it would be great for any of you interested in a cheap server or dual SETI/Folding cruncher.

I just love older systems for some reason. I guess I'm overly reminiscent...

I thank you, O/C thanks you, Seti may or may not thank you ":O}

Haha...that doesn't reflect the other PCs humming here under the desk and in the next room. If only they came as cheap!

I just can't seem to bring myself to getting rid of old stuff. I have to always find a way to bring it back to at least a somewhat useable state.

They're still fun to play with too.

My electric bills tend to keep me in check! LOL

No doubt. I had to choose between all my PCs running or having the A/C on.

Whew...sure is warm in here.
