a mobo with twice the main chips of a normal one must be good.... 🤣

Would have went for this baby if it weren't for the case that I got a pile of socket 8 mobo's/machines already 😜

It's a nice mobo, how many machines had full 1mb L2 cache from this period? 😉

if this beauty where in the EU i had say yes, i take it
its one of the black Ppro, right?

Yup it's one of those black PPros in the newer packaging.

Amigaz, nobody had these CPUs back then because they cost over $2000. They were for DB servers or something, but now they are nearly free so everybody needs one. 😁 Most PPros were the 256K L2 variety, but maybe some few had the 512K ones but they were silly expensive too.

I can't believe that I can't give this thing away. What's going on here!?

well, if it had been me back then I could have boughjt a system with one of those cpu's but I was nuts back then....back in the days I knew how to save money and not spend it to quickly 😜

Can't understand either why no one jumps on your offer 😕

For me, it's not that I don't want it... it would be really cool to have. But I already have way more crap than I know what to do with, as it is. I need to get rid of stuff, not add more.

The mobo looks awesome and it's a great offer, but I've got some socket 7 mobos and some old classic pentium chips, and also some of the newer mmx chips. Plus a typical slot 1 mobo for P2 & P3 chips. I think for mid/late 90s retro gaming, this is enough for me. Generous offer though, I hope it finds a good home.

before you throw it into the trash, what will be shipping to germany?

swaaye: you can always ask the member who really wants the motherboard to pay for the shipment as the only thing.

I've been looking for an ATX pentium pro board for a while now!

If exxe doesn't want it, I'd take it!
Do you still have the IO shield for it?

I'd absolutely love to have it, don't throw it out please!!

Well a quick look at the post office web site prices says probably $20 to ship to the Netherlands for example. What u guys think?

I don't have a specific IO shield, but if you look at the photo you can see that it has few ports and most of the "generic ATX" case shields work.

I think Amigaz was the first to ask for it so let me know if you want it or not Amigaz!! 😀 If he doesn't then it's exxe or Tetrium.

This board does look tempting and I was almost about to pm swaaye, till I saw Tetrium's message. Tetrium wants it more than I do! 😀

@Tetrium : Even if the I/O shield is not available with swaaye, the ATX form factor is a standard Pentium era ATX styled I/O port placements, and you shouldn't have trouble getting one.

I'll pass, since I'm already loaded with socket 8 mobo's I'll rather see it going to someone who's got a hard on for a socket 8 mobo 😀

Well, then it's up to exxe, he is the next in line 😉
I hope he passes 🙄
I read the manual and a standard IO shield should fit...or I will make it fit! 😁.

I'm fine with $20 shipping cost, if exxe passes, how will I send you the money?

PayPal works.

Or an Amazon gift card 🤣

As for the IO shield, if the recipient of the board doesn't already have one laying around, heres one for 49 cents.

i only mean if no one other wants it

I've created my first paypal account but it said it takes 5 to 7 days before it's activated. I'll ask my mother if I can borrow her account, I'm pretty sure she'll let me use her account Swaaye 😉

well if you want it Tetrium, PM me an address and I'll mail the mobo.
