I am looking for a motherboard that will hold 2 or 4, socket 478, P4-
1.5GHz CPUs. 5 PCs at my office were flooded by Katrina. They were a
total loss and I have ordered new systems. But looking at the systems, I
noticed that although the water came up half way on the MB, the CPU was
not wet. Additionally the CD-RW drives are OK too...
Anyhow I am just thinking about a hobby project using the CPUs in an
older server MB just to see if can put together a little home server
CHEAP. I currently have P3-800MHz that is about 4 years old and it is
fine for the house with only 3 workstations. I was thinking about
upgrading it son, and thought this might make an interesting project.
Can anyone suggest a motherboard that might work? I also have 5, 512MB
PC133 memory upgrades that were ordered before the storm, but were not
delivered until after the storm. The vendor won't take them back, so a
MB that takes PC133 RAM would be nice too.
So far I have spent a couple of hours browsing the internet but have not
found anything suitable. I guess by today's standards this is not
cutting edge hardware.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
