I have a chance to buy the following Dual Pentium III motherboard: ACORP 6A815ED/EPD/EPD1 REV: 1.1A. The chipset is an Intel i815EP Information on this board is scarce. Does anyone know if this board will support two Pentium Tualatin 1.4 cpus?

Random problems are the worst. My last one turned out to be a problem hard drive that had passed every test available. I replaced it on a hunch because it seemed programs were taking an extra second or so to load. Before that I had a heat problem caused by a cpu fan that would stop for a minute and …

My computer is a little quicker with it but I’m using three pci cards.

Great forum. I’ve learned a lot from reading the posts here. I have three old builds right now. Intel Atlantis motherboard with Pentium 200 overdrive processor, 128mb edo ram, Riva TNT pci graphics card and 2-9gb scsi hard drives. BCM BX motherboard with a Celeron 1.4ghz/Power Leap Slot Wonder. …

BX motherboards work the best with video cards that have an additional power connector. This may be why the 6600 works and not the 6200. The best card I’ve found for my BX/Celeron 1.4 computer is a nVidia GeForce 5700 Ultra. ATI cards don’t work very well in this computer. My Pentium III 1.4 on a …
