Where can I buy a P3 Slot one mobo?

[Phoenix15]

Anyone know any good places to try and get something like this? Need a new one, or at the very least a factory refurb. Already tried compgeeks, no luck there. Any other idea's?

froogle, ebay, newegg?

Hmm. I'm using one now. Thinking about selling too. 133 FSB.

I had a b|tch of a time trying to find a socket 370 board that I liked a few weeks ago. I ended up having to give up on my plan of using ddr...there was one board that had ONE ddr slot and it was a pcchips.

Since even a "new" one is going to have been sitting in a box for 4+ years, why not get one cheap from FS/FT?

But for 4-years-new, eBay is probaly your only hope.

I have a P3 slot mobo, but I'm in the UK so that's not much use to you 😛

isellsurplus.com (I think that's the link) may have them.

It owuld probably be cheaper to get a new cpu and motherboard than to pay for an old motherboard. I use a slot 1 p3 mobo (soyo 6vca). Its a socket 370 p3 with slocket. But if the mobo ever dies, I will break down and get a comparable duron or seomthing for $20.

Yeah, but I need one that will work with the customers components. It's a old HP vectra, The bios has some kind of harware lock out that won't allow you to boot from the cd rom. It has all these security features that are a pain in the ass in the bios. My idea was to get a new mobo. I figured it would be easy, but I can't find anywhere that still sells the slot P3 boards.

i have a p3 slot with a p3 500 that you can take for $15 + shipping 🙂

beware if you're changing the motherboard and putting all the other original components back, win XP will freak out.

Heck I just bought one from compgeeks and it's NOT what I wanted. 🙁 Stupid rambus.

Just run the FRU through Google and you'll find some resources.

Dude, nice man. I have a Slot A athlon lying around that I wanted to get up and running.

It is unlikely that the mobo doesn?t have CDROM boot feature. Check bios settings and man page to turn on the boot options. Worst case, boot from floppy and install

just remember if you have a PIII-S chip 1.26 or 1.4 you can sell it to a webfarm easy.

They are great server chips.

I sold my PIII-S 1.4 for more than I paid for it a couple years earlier...it paid for my Athlon 64 3200+ and left some cash left over 😉 My machine was plenty fast since I didn't play games at the time that demanded big CPU's or video...but I upgraded and went with a BFG 6800 GT OC 😉

It was a headache at the time (my A8N-SLI stopped talking to my SCSI subsystem one day)...however, went MSI K8N Neo4/Platinum and it's been smooth since March, even if my benches are a little lower.
