I dont remember this whole thread but how did the memory test out? Only 440FX board I have is a Dual PII 3oos but it was a bit quirky with a couple of sticks of EDO I had.

The memory appears to be fine.

I’ve made some headway on my Dual Pentium Pro. I now have the Matrox Millennium G450 (2000) as well as the ICP SCSI card running in the system without any IRQ conflicts.

The Matrox Millennium G450 (2000) will at least enable me to get XP onto this thing with driver support!

I still need to sort out the POST problem.

The DALLAS chip has already been drilled, so I can easily fit a coin cell holder to it. Its current battery voltage is sitting at 2.9v, which could be part of the problem! (I just need to get the part.)

What exactly is the post problem again? Does it only post "sometimes"?

That's pretty much it!

It didn't support the Matrox card before the BIOS update, so that at leas worked!
