Hi. I bought a 300GL 6275 last week.
It cames with a Celeron 333 66bus Mendocino and 2x64Mb of RAM PC100, 500g of weight in dust, two hdd of 3gb aaaaand .... AWE64!!!
------------------------------------------------
Actual SPECS:
MB: IBM 440BX (BIOS 07/19/2000)
CPU: Pentium III 550Mhz/512/100/2v (Katmai)
RAM: 2x256Mb PC133 (that runs at 100)
HDD: 40GB IDE
Sound: AWE64 Gold ISA
PSU: Rated 150W
OS: Windows 98SE
TO-DO:
CPU: Looking for the MAX CPU this board can handle
Graphics: FX5500 256Mb PCI and Voodoo3 PCI
Network: 10/100 PCI
OS: Windows 98SE + MSDOS
------------------------------------------------
Motherboard actually has the lastest BIOS (31A) that "officially" has support for 0673h processor's and olders (results show me PII's, Celerons and PIII's Katmai)
+Info http://ps-2.kev009.com/pccbbs/commercial_desktop/pdjt31a.txt
So the motherboard works with 66/100Mhz bus. Its a 440BX chipset and the jumpers settings of the MB are not available since a BIOS update "auto adjust PIII" so no necessary.
I looked for slotket's and raised the price last years, less offer and boot lottery with "generic" boards like mine's so I bought for 5$ a Katmai Pentium III 550Mhz 512/100 that runs well.
Assuming that PIII 600/512/100 (Katmai) works perfectly... what happen with 100Mhz Coppermines Slot 1?
Found and bought a Pentium III 800/256/100 that runs at 1.7V. Will my MB can with it? (need help to find my VRM manuals)
New CPU cames from Japan... so min 2 weeks.
In reference a graphics, it has integrated a S3 with 2mb (upto 4mb with SGRAM Sodimm module). Thinks on put a FX5500 PCI and probably a Voodoo3.
Info refered to VRM's of my MB are welcome 😁
