I still have some old stuff I'm fond of. The wife wants me to get rid of it

Micron Pentium Pro 200 dual socket workstation.

2 Iwill DH800 dual socket 604 workstations.

3 LGA 775 PCs.

I threw out a perfectly fine PII DOS box I'd built for running DOS/Win3.11 at it's fastest possible speed. Any faster processor and DOS crashes.

There are lots of used dual socket server boards to be had that use older processors and can be had for cheap.

Nice!
Did it take a lot of Vcore?
Do the motherboards even allow Vcore changes?

I think I was around 1.7v.
Depends on the board, but there are always pin mods.

Noo0o0ooooo0o0oo0o why did you throw that away???

I think what's going to happen here is buy the parts separately and build the server once I have everything.
Motherboard and CPU's, then find some storage and then PSU's....
The case will be hard to find though.

No worries. Only the PII was sacrificed so the others could live. My DH800s ain't going anywhere nor my PPro200. If push comes to shove, I'll find 'em good homes where they will be loved and cherished.
