My dual Pentium 3 board will probably benefit from this. Nice!

The thoroughbred and barton boxes I built and overclocked way back when...

The thoroughbred was in an ECS motherboard that had slots for both pc133 sdram and pc2100 (ddr1) ram.

K7S5A?

There was a week when it was both the cheapest and best performing mainboard you could buy.

Oh dang, that rings a bell! After looking it up, definitely!

I know for a fact the barton went in an abit nf7-s.

From what I remember my pentium 3 was 32 bits, are there still distros supporting that?

There are still a few that do, antiX for example.

Finally.

Cool. I think I've still got my Athlon CPU somewhere in a drawer.
