I really love those tyan dual socket 7 boards :p

Windows xp runs fine on pentium but windows 9x runs a little faster 😀

I wasn’t saying to run xp on pentium, you read that yourself mistakingly. But it does work. Especially 233mmx, tillamook, and the rest of socket 7 to which I usually play with.

You might be able to try a x1300 on a pentium 3 with pci. Drivers may work.

Ah, that makes better sense now.

As I was writing my reply to you, I was even thinking to myself, "Am I misreading this? This can't be right."

Hang onto your Tyan boards like they're made of gold. If you haven't seen the prices for them on eBay lately, they're priced like they're made of solid gold. If mine ever dies, there is no way I'm ever spending $300+ to replace it. DOSBox has got me covered for 99% of everything I need the Tyan for anyway, but I still prefer the real hardware. The S1563S is one of the best purchases I've made in my entire life.
