What can you say about a chip that has outlasted 2 or 3 mobo's?
My old PIII 700E is still rockin' but I can't seem to get a good mobo to keep up with it..this old Abit SH6 (slot one 815E chipset) has been rma'd once, the original build is about 6 or 7 yrs old and now the bad cap problem is coming back to haunt me...spotted another when I suspected a bad cap or two and my mobo locked up randomly.
So, I plug in two more fans hoping to keep this old pig from dying till I get my c2d system built, then I will Attempt to repair the board myself.
I have had a lot of fun on this old monster, and I'm reluctant to give it up just yet ...Anybody else feel that way?
