Hi:

I bought a brand new P3V4X about 3 years ago, and put it on my shelf.
Never even been taken out of the box, although it has the ICI (?)
(newer) (crappier?) chip. I am now not sure what to do with it since it
it so old, possibly throw it out or donate it to a kindergarten class
for exercise class (i.e. kick board).

What else can I do with this board, that would be useful,? and,

I have a tualatin (sp?) 1.20 kicking around, and an upgradeware slot-t,
as well as some mem, a lian li pc-35, and other stuff that might
complete the box, but is it worth the trouble? Planning on some old
time gaming (i.e. exile, alice, theif, etc).

TIA

Average selling price for a P3V4X on eBay is around $US60, probably more
for new-in-box.

If that Tualatin is a Celeron and will run at 133Mhz FSB for 1596Mhz
(and there's a good chance it will, according to the CPU database at
overclockers.com), the performance would not be too shabby at all -
comparable to a faster P4 similarly saddled with SDRAM.

It's a very nice board, I still use it with my Pentium III 933 MHz and
Voodoo5.
