is your fic 2013 the 2mb version? if so have you tried your 3+ in it? will you be willing to benchmark it for us? My socket 7 department is a bit lean compared to the rest of my stuff, and I've been looking for a cheap 2013.

if nothing else, pictures? I love pictures.

It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.

Unfortunately it is only with 1mb cache and does not have the onboard hardware monitoring either. All of the boards I have are 1mb cache apart from the Ali5 , TX and SIS530 boards which have 512kb cache. I will post some pics when I get the chance.

Welcome! You've got some nice hardware! We all love pics, so it would be cool if you shared some 😀 I'm curious about P5A mobos, what are they capable of and what chipset do they have?

P5A has the Ali Aladdin5 chipset with 512k onboard cache. Versions 5 and 6 of the motherboard will not run K6plus processors so you have to find versions 4 and below to run these.
