thanks in for one

 

[aznbumbaclot]

nice deal

 

[Zap]

GAH, must resist. I'm saving so much money that I'm going broke!

 

[WhoBeDaPlaya]

LOL, quote of the day

 

[JuryDuty]

Heck of a deal. For $20 shipped, it'll be worth a shot to try it out.

 

[jalaram]

Nice price. Too bad that I already have too many computers.

 

[JuryDuty]

What processor does this thing take? According to Shuttle support, it won't take a Celeron D:

I guess any skt 478 that isn't a Prescott core.

A little info on the VIA chipset this board uses: Link

But for ~$20, it's a steal.

 

[StevenYoo]

man, that's one hell of a price

 

[OhioState]

nice deal

If anyone wouldn't mind posting some links to compatible processors at NewEgg or other stores like that, it would be appreciated. I'm having trouble finding them. (I must be searching for the wrong thing.)

 

[RBC]

The site is really slow - I wouldn't think so many people would want this.

 

[gergever]

My order was accepted, confirmed by email.

Then cancelled, notified by another email about 15 minutes later

Someone probably yelled from the back of the warehouse.....wait, we're outa them
or maybe they are just collecting credit card #s

 

[jjmIII]

Wonder if it will run a Mobile Celeron 478 ??

 

[dwirsz]

Thanks OP I'm in for one. Heck of a deal!

They cancelled mine too of course. Sucks!

 

[RBC]

Mine was cancelled within minutes too... same thing happened the other day on Zire 21 deal.

 

[DjC]

WOW. Glad I ordered last night at 2am!

Mine shipped out already! Very quick

 

[JuryDuty]

Mine shipped too and I ordered this morning...though I can't find a processor that will run in it so not sure if I'll use it or not.

Heh I soldered my old Epox P4 board with a new cap that's got it hobbling along fairly decently, except I think the RAID chipset on it just went bonkers (might not be the chipset itself obviously) and made the RAID array lock up the machine every 10 seconds. The data on my raid array appears intact but I haven't been able to access it for about a month now lol.

Oh so my point is, that's the sucky thing about proprietary onboard raid, when it breaks you gotta go find a compatible standalone card =(

Awww just realized it's OOS...was gonna order one just in case my crappy soldering job went bad lol

Or you could use Linux. The software RAID can understand most of the proprietary RAID adapter data!

I got mine today and as it turns out, it is NOT the AV49V/N motherboard. It is actually the AV49P motherboard...

Differences between the two are that the AV49P has:
400/533/800 mhz FSB (instead of 400/533)
VIA PT800+VT8237 chipset (instead of P4X400+VT8235)
2 DIMM slots (instead of 3)
AGP 2.0/3.0 (instead of 1.0/2.0)
4 PCI slots (instead of 5)
2 serial ATA ports (instead of 0)
8 USB ports (instead of 6)

So...is it a better motherboard? Thoughts?
