Made a partial trade and got this board for very reasonable price, will test it in next few days. Can't wait to assemble the machine with this 😀

Many 3Dfx and Pentium III-S stuff.

And AGP-Pro 😜 The "ultimate-universal-take-it-all"-AGP-Slot. 😀

Do you need two PSU's with two ATX connectors to run this board?

#1 K6-2/500, #2 Athlon1200, #3 Celeron1000A, #4 A64-3700, #5 P4HT-3200, #6 P4-2800, #7 Am486DX2-66

No, 2nd one is for backup.

It can start with standard 20pin ATX PSU but obviously it has to be quite beefy.

Wow, that's something to lay your eyes on twice. What's with the white slots that look like pci but obviously aren't the normal kind? First time I see those, am I missing an important part of history?
That's a server board, right? I mean not something that could work as a server but really intended to be used in serious rack-mounted machines? If so I guess (not really guessing but mostly remembering what such boards of the era used to do) the second ATX power connection is required when running with two CPUs, unless you had something really powerful for its time.

No matter what... It's got plenty of choices for cards and stuff.
The only thing that would make this, one of the ultimate boards, are the lack of ISA.
On the other hand. This offers so much more than the average stuff. 😜

Nice! I've had my eyes on one of these boards for a while and narrowly missed one on eBay a few weeks ago. My dual P3 workstation is currently running on a 370DE6 which is nearly identical but tops out at 1GHz.

Couldn't wait and removed INtel SAI2 from my Aopen fulltower to install P3TDE6 into it. Fitted perfectly, used Hitachi Ultrastar 10k 73 GB 68pin SCSI HDD with onboard adaptec AIC-7899 controller, Nvidia Geforce 6800, SB Live! with Live! Drive and of course, a matching pair of Creative Voodoo2 is SLI configuration. Installed XP Professional onto it with koolsmoky V2 drivers. Got 9743 points in 3DMark2001SE, not too bad for completely stock one!

I noted that northbridge heatsink becomes quite hot, will address this soon with better heatsink and thermal compound.
