So I'm trying to find out just what exactly this alien card that Spawn found (http://www.thebestcasescenario.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7842) is.

I google the mobo info and come across an interesting thread (http://www.computing.net/hardware/wwwboard/forum/47027.html) from the first of the year regarding some random guy trying to install XP on a MMX PII if I'm reading everything correctly. A couple of great quotes:



I'm going to put on 98se and see how that goes. But, as I was prying off the heatsink with a screwdriver and pliers, I shattered a resistor on the mobo closest to the CPU. It still seems to bootup OK. What will this affect?




I took Electronics in high school (although didn't pay much attension) and I believe it was a resistor I broke. It is a small flat rectangle, I wouldn't be able to find a replacement for it around here. So far it hasn't impacted anything (yet).



Locally here in my town of 10,000, I am the cheapest way of helping the locals with their old PC's (charging only $20 for 15 hours of work!).

Uh....I don't know about you, but I wouldn't let that guy work on a dead PC, much less any of my gear.

And if by some slim chance that this raiden1701 guy is a member here, then I must <point> and <giggle>.
