The motherboard of my old Dell desktop died, but the slot 1 350mhz pentium II is still in working order. Is there any point in keeping this thing (ie some real cheap source for a motherboard)?

markuskidd, that PII-350 Slot1 would make a good second system for internet cruising or basic appls. like Office. I recently built a system around that processor for my daughter. It's hooked to my router to a cable modem and it works fine for its intended purpose. I picked up a Soyo 6BA+III Slot1 board for $27. JustDeals.com has a Asus 440BX board right now for $35. They also have a Chaintech 440BX for $30, along w/ an FIC 440BX for $20.

Yeah, I do have applications for a 350mhz PC, just wasn't sure if there were any quality motherboards at a reasonable price (since it's so cheap to build a 1.4 ghz AMD system right now). It's only been recently that I've gotten into hardware so I'm not familiar with the boards that are worthwhile from that time. I'll take a look at the ones mentioned above, and if anyone else knows of any motherboards that fit the bill please continue sharing![]()
