| Not for faint of heart Ok, I'm an old AMD man, but I just wanted you to see this. I had no idea those Pentium Pro processors were this tough! http://www.cpu-info.com/rsrc/img/pht...donker%20W.jpg Who knows, with a warranty program like that, I may come over to the darkside! LOL

| P Pro's did fascinate me way back when. They're cheap if you can find 'em now and still stylish to gaze upon, if not worth a hoot next to modern processors. They sure were costly in the days that a P133 was as good as it got. Barring the $600 P Pro's themselves, of course. Yet, after the protective casing was melted loose from the top of the actual CPU, which one was still operable? AMD. Just like Timex, AMD's CPU's take a licking, and keep on ticking! Yeah, yeah. Finding a Socket 8 mainboard for P Pro's is quite difficult nowadays. You can find the mobo's, but finding the VRM's for the S8's is a whole 'nother thing.

| I saw a server that had two pros in it and WAS working with hard drives for $166 (if I remember correctly). It was at the show if someone wants it, drop me a pm and I'll pick it up for you. Rob

| Ta, mate. I'll just buy a Pentium Pro CPU if the opportunity presents itself again. And I can spare ten bucks for it. A rig, while a nice museum piece just causes more unneeded clutter. Thanks again!
