Celeron 400/128/66 on a micro-atx Intel ZX-based PPGA370 mainboard?
I found this motherboard in my garage.
Its a Soyo ATX SY -6BE ( Intel Bx440 chipset ).
And a Pentium III CPU @ 500mhz.
I would have assumed a vanilla 440BX since the SS7 chipsets somehow have a bad reputation for AGP cards.
Those TNT2 really are always and everywhere, huh? Think I have the exact same specimen somewhere. Good TV out chip, as well.
I like jumpers.
Nice to see another build in the making that's based on the same chipset like the one I'm working on atm... keep the posts coming 😀
Also, cute little Intel astronaut (hazmat worker? bomb squad member?? beekeeper???)
a good enough match. a TNT2 is fine with most late 90's and some circa 2000 games and a P3 will provide all the cpu power needed for such games too

These colourful clean room workers featured in Intel ads when Intel launched the PII in 1997. Check YouTube, they will certainly still be rocking there.
Sorry Guys,
I have misplaced the video card and I can’t find my slot-1 CPU coolers so I will have to post pone this build until I find the stuff. My Garage is a mess and it’s hard to find stuff when it's all boxed up.
But I have a couple of nice builds coming up.
