Wow! You're really reaching back there

. geez... I can't seem to recall. What I like to do is search pricewatch for something like "Socket 7 AT ..." and add in the features I want. Then I go to the websites for each manufacturer and check out reviews. That's what I did when I was trying to find a MicroATX S370 board for my grandpa's C3 based computer. Just a suggestion... good luck w/ that speed demon btw

I think Asus's one was fairly popular back a long time ago

beleave it or not, its actually an upgrade.
Before: P150 32MB RAM (72 pin SIMM)
After: K62-550 128MB RAM (72pin SIMM)

ASUS P5A

ASUS P5a-b is the AT board. I still use one for my server. With a little rigging, you can put a DORB3 on it. I've got one on mine with a k6-2 300 and no fan. Runs about 40C idle, but damn quiet.

I already got a HSF. Its a generic, but its pretty good. I dont wanna spend more than a hundred bucks, and this is just to hold me over untill i can afford my new system. Im getting this to upgrade from a P150 and so i can use SDRAM instead of 72 pin SIMMs

perhaps, but im saving up so i can get either a hammer or XP system with GF4 card, and evap cooling system, Lian Li PC70 case, SB live platinum audigy, klipsch5.1 speakers, dual 22" CRTs, the works.

The k62 is just to hold me over, like i said

Not to be a tease but..
I was cleaning the storge closet and came across a FIC503+ and I thought to my self "where the hell did this come from, I could see if superart wants it." I figured I better check it out first.

it won't post. wont beep. and when I hit reset, it made a big POP and some light grey smoke came from somewhere. smells like burned resistor. I dont think you want it. Any luck finding one cheap?

jtroutma · 04-10-2002, 03:27 PM

Shame.

The FIC VA-503+ MB is acutally really nice and I have not been able to find a company that sells it anymore.

Was perfect for my customers that just wanted an extra kick for their Windows 98 machines and old AT style cases.....
