Need a Socket 7 mobo that'll support a 40 gig hdd, processor is 450mhz k6-2, and must be AT formfactor....

I cannot find any on pricewatch. Anyone know of one? Built in sound, graphics, etc. is not needed, but support for large hard drives and support for a k6-2 450 is a must.

i think amamax.com has socket7 boards

ive used them a few times and they seem pretty good (i usually buy from newegg, but i dont think they have any boards that old)
 
you also might want to try posting in the for sale/trade forum... i bet lots of guys have old socket7 boards they would love to get rid of

maybe someone else can help you find a store that has what your wanting


but if it was me i would buy one in the for sale/trade forum, or maybe even ebay (i am not a big ebay fan 🙂 but for something that old they probably have several)

The problem is that this board is not for me, it's for one of my customers, and I need for them to be able to buy it.....

*sigh*

So I'm SOL, huh? I don't know what the hell im going to do then.

Try talking them into a K7S5A and Duron900 for under a 100$ delivered?
 
Just stay away from FIC- nothing but craptastic experience back in the Socket 7 days when I was tinkering with them. I really got into my hardware makes and models around the debut of the Athlon, so I'm sorry to say I can't recommend another board. If MSI or ASUS make a Socket 7 AT board, go with that. Check eBay- should find one for well under 50 bucks.
 
Go to Ebay, I have sold 3 AT form motherboards K6- AMD series so far,.. too bad I don't have it nomore. OO anyway MSI and EPoX are two good mobo for socket 7 I forget the series I guess the EPoX is MVP3C2. Good Luck in Searching
 
ANY socket 7 mobo can support 40Gb HDD (if not natively then with disk geometry translation software from disk manufacturer).
 
The mobo the customer is currently running will not support the 40 gig maxtor.

I may try to talk them into a Duron and a new mobo, as it seems very hard to find socket 7 mobos anymore. Man, i remember when these things WERE the thing to have. Back in the "good old days".

Thank you for all your input,
zs

Ahhh, WTH, 10's for everyone!
 
This must be repeated to you :

MaxBlast software.

From Maxtor allows large hard drives to be installed in systems that don't support large drives in the BIOS. Its is called EZ BIOS.

Try it first.
 
Actually the FIC board to get is the 503A.
Excellent board, with support for such things as UDMA66, 4 USB, Temp sensor, and lower voltage K6+ cpu's.
Great overclocker. Running K6-2 450+ at 600MHz, problem free.
Prior board was 503+, and it too was a nice board, but the 503A is in another class.
