This past days was in my man cave sorting all the stuff and throwing away what was broken and/or not needed anymore...

Made a pile of boards, personally I never used them, some were tested, some were repaired (capacitors). What would you reckon these are worth, if any? Are there any interesting ones? I was having a chat in another thread about the two Abit's (KT7A and BX133), and people seem keen on these because of the ISA slot for DOS audio.

- Foxconn 915PL7AE-8S (interesting because it is a 775 board with PCI, PCIex and AGP 8x)
- Asus P5Q (LGA775)
- Intel D865PERL (Socket 478)
- MSI 6547 Ultra (Socket 478)
- Matsonic MS9337C (Socket 478)
- Asus A7V600 (Socket A) 2 of them
- Asus A7V600x (socket A)
- Gigabyte GA-7VAXP Ultra (Socket A)
- Abit KT7A Raid (Socket A)
- Abit BX133 Raid (Socket 370)
- QDI Advance 6T (Socket 370)
- Intel D815EGEW (Socket 370)

Is there anything special? I need to figure out quickly what to do with them, because I have two more boxes incoming... 😀

Thanks for the help!

Martin

- BX133 Raid
- 7VAXP
- and the Foxconn you mentioned

Slightly less generous, the only one I'd really get enthousiastic about:

Abit BX133-RAID: possibly the ultimate So370 board. At least, after re-capping.

KT7A is a good early SoA board with KT133A chipset - after re-capping. Sure, it's got more OC options than most KT133A boards, but unless you really want to pair an Athlon 1400 with an ISA card (as a friend of mine did in 2001) you'd sooner choose a faster DDR motherboard for that Athlon, like say one of the A7V600s.
