I just bought a motherload of motherboards.
For $135 shipped I'll be getting...
18 (yes, eighteen) Asus TUV4X boards in good condition with no apparent capacitor plague
8 other older Socket 7 boards, some with Pentiums installedThe TUV4X supports Pentium 3 Tualatin-S 1.4Ghz CPUs, 4xAGP Pro, 6 PCI, and up to 1.5GB of PC-133, so aside from being Via-based ( Apollo Pro 133T vs i815) they're about as good as you can get on Socket 370. 😲
I guess the only downside to this model is that you have to modify any heatsink clips that have 3 tabs because of the placement of a component near the CPU socket. Small price to pay I guess...
Nice boards! FYI they almost-certainly have a highly DOS-compatible AC'97 audio system built into the 686B southbridge, so the lack of an ISA slot isn't even a problem. I have yet to find ANY DOS program that refuses to work with that chip & its drivers.
For $7.50 each you did ridiculously well. If you decide you'd rather have 17 than 18 shoot me a PM. 😉
