WTB: Dual Socket 370 P3 Mobo for SMx project

primesuspect

Me, shorty, keebs, and mondi kicked in and bought 2x 1.26mhz PIII Tualatin processors for the SMx project. Now we need a motherboard for these beasts. A dual tualatin folding rig will be a serious monster. Anybody have one they want to part with?

I found one on eBay and if we pool some funds together I think we can get it. With 4 days left, it's currently bidding at $18.50. I'll throw in $15. Anyone else?

Awww, crap. Okay, scratch that. Let's go with something a little more generic. I'll keep combing through eBay.

Shwaip: That's awesome.. Come on people, can't we just get a few of us to chip in and get that sucker for $60?

I'm in for $20

We need something that supports Tualatin processors. Not sure if that one does or not. It just says Coppermine.

A lack of Tualatin CPU support can be fixed:

Seem to be very good. Got my Upgradeware XP-TMC adapters shipped in a very reasonable amount of time. They took forever to get here, but that's to be expected- they were coming from Maryland to California via UPS Ground, so it's not Stratton Computer's fault. They shipped it the day after I ordered them, as I recall. It wasn't more than 2 days after I ordered them, for sure. In fact, I just ordered a couple of the Upgradeware Slot-T adapters so I can get my Tyan S1837 running with the S370 PIIIs I have. They're the only company in the U.S. that sells Upgradeware adapters, btw, so don't bother looking anywhere else. I've tried; you won't find them.

Oh, btw... I just found this.

I'll probably order one anyhow, so I don't have to deal with RMAing the MSI Pro266 right now, but it looks like if I need to RMA that Rioworks board, it'll have to be through Rioworks, judging by Reseller Ratings.

And they don't have any in stock. I tried to buy one to hold me over while my MSI Pro266TD-LR gets RMA'd, and it won't let you add it to the cart.

The bp6 and the vp6 won't work, the tyan boards above will, I am not sure about the Epox. But I believe the VIA Apollo Pro133A Chipset does support them.
