Either 4x DDR2, because 2 GB DDR2 sticks are still more expensive than they should be.
About 1 1/2 years ago I made a nice deal on ebay: E8200 and a P35 board for 45€ with shipping.Ī G41 board for 70€ is not cheap, even when new, that is more than decent midrange (P35/P45) boards were back then (Think I bought my new MSI P45 Neo back in 2008 for about 65€) board, and those board can be found for around 50-60€ today.Īnd for something with 4 RAM slots will also cost more.
DELL OPTIPLEX 210L 64 BIT SERIAL
I imagine a socket could use both 771 & 775, two DDR2/3 RAM slots (up to 8gb for 64 bit), PCI-e slot(s), PCI slot(s), IDE/PATA port for diskettes & optical, SATA connections, P/S2, plenty of USBs, serial port, VGA & DVI (onboard graphics), built in wireless/LAN/56k modem, 5 point sound w/ AUX out & in, MIDI, a game port.īut for some 775 oc fun (CPUs are abundant, from Prescott P4's to C2Q and Xeons) the G41 is far from a good solution. I think a single (m)ATX motherboard could be made cheaply to fit all of our wants & needs. Do you all know if manufacturers, especially Intel, has expired patents so that the hardware could be copied & manufactured again? Or if XP (both 32 & 64 bit) capable hardware was made, there would be no lawsuits? Do we have to wait until a hardware manufacturer goes out of business? Has one? What are we going to do then?”Ĭommodore fans have actually had new hardware made. This got me thinking, “Almost all of the XP capable hardware will all become like this 210L dead. I learned this after one popped on the motherboard as I tried to power on the PC. I recently got a Dell Optiplex 210L (Pentium 4, 2GB RAM, no harddrive OEM preinstalled XP) in hopes of reviving it.
