I just got a PIII given to me for free. It is a Costa Rica 866/256/133/1.65V SL43J.
Intel Spec Finder
It came with an ASUS CUV4X motherboard, ATI all in wonder, 256Mb ECC PC133, 40Gb drive, Audigy SB LIVE, CD-ROM, CD-RW, etc.
1) I have seen that there are a lot of people that get at least 1GHz out of the coppermines. What are my odds?
2) Is the ASUS an ok board for O/Cing? Will it get this processor to 1GHz.
3) I am going to replace the ATi with my Nvidia GeForce2 and run linux for the O/S since linux does do too well with ATI. Will this machine make an ok firewall and/or fileserver? Maybe e-mail server?
4) I am willing to put $50 into this system if anyone has any great upgrade ideas.
Thanks!
