Bought this for $41. I am adding this to my collection of Socket 3 PCI boards (3 so far).

Nice, Brickpad! Congrats...PCI, VLB and coin cell battery. Sweet. Hope it works.
The more I learn, the more I realize how much I don't know.

It might just be a home/office board though.
It says in the sillkscreen ITOX, a well know manufacturer of industrial computing solutions.
Probably to drive a bunch of ISA interface/controller boards, or ISA serial communication hardware.

I started stripping down some excess computers I had snagged from a dumpster recently, and I stumbled across a real oddity.
This is a 440BX based Socket 370 board with 6 ISA slots on it! It has on-board Chips 69000 video as well. It is certainly unusual, but I don't know what to do with it..

Yep, you're absolutely right, it's an industrial board 😀

rkrenicki, you might be interested to know that ITOX still keeps some downloads for that board avaliable after all those years:
Got three socket 3 boards and one dual socket 462 board. Can anyone tell me what boards (make/model) are those 486 boards so I could look up the manuals and configure jumpers? I am not too strong in 486 world 😀
Many 3Dfx and Pentium III-S stuff.

The red board is a MSI Master L. I own one, it is a very solid board. Looks like yours needs re-capped. (Same as mine)
It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes.
Yeah, I found out the Master L info, but nothing on the 486 boards.

I checked :
It is Rage 128 Pro chip (AGP 4x support)... but it has 64-bit memory bus 🙁

Picked up this haul of old P4 systems from an architectural office on Long Island yesterday:
Pentium 4 systems are dirt cheap now - they're like old CRT televisions, people can barely give them away.
But I've got some plans for these...
What's the story behind the biege one? I don't recognize that model (the rest are Dimension 4000's and a GX400 correct?)

Umm, no. I have a Dell LGA775 motherboard that I can't use because of non-standard power connector. It has IIRC two 8-pin connectors and a 6-pin connector located physically in different parts of the motherboard. There is no standard 20-pin or 24-pin connector.

My 4600, Optiplex 760, and Optiplex 330 all use standard ATX.

OOOO!!! A HP KAYAK! Those are neat machines! Shame about the rest. Personally, I'd check for anything special and/or upgrades and recycle the remainders.
