Do you think that the stuff that's out there at these cheap prices would work in some of the stuff I have here? I'm not even sure about the speeds, got two boards up ATM w/ a K6-200 in one, a P200 in the other. Gotta dig out that other board out of "the pizza box" and stick that 133 chip in it that I have around here someplace, and find some ram to stick in it. Anyhow, there was one local guy who was trying to tell me I needed PC66 in these boards. Comments? Looks like I'm still not quite up to speed on some aspects of this stuff... ---* Origin: TANSTAAFL BBS 717-838-8539 (1:270/615) SEEN-BY: 633/267 270 @PATH: 270/615 150/220 379/1 106/1 2000 633/267 |
