    Server board socket 370 PIII

    Poweredge 500sc part number 06M131 mainboard. This uses PIII socket 370 and 4 memory slots, two PCI-X slots and 4 PCI slots.

    What attacts me is the price is very cheap now for this board, Tualatin CPU so cheap now, and saw 8 IDE port PCI-X cards on ebay, etc. Also sweet thing is 2GB of registered ECC SDRAM.

    Will this work with XP Pro? I know I need to use a PCI video card but I know where to get good one.

    Just curious.

    Cheers, Wizard

    Unless it's a dual i wouldn't bother with it. But yes it will work with XP just fine, it'll run Vista and 7 too, but unless you get something like a 8400GS PCI... no aero.

      True... What about the "server" aspect side? If I do find PCI-X gigabit NIC and another card that plugs into PCI-X for hard drives will that help with transfer speed/data transmission?

        lowest nvidia card supporting directX 9 (and thus aero) is the FX5200 / Quadro NVS280 (PCI only for the Quadro, the AGP NVS280 is based on a GF4)

          even duals will work if you have xp pro... home, not so much.

          sounds nice...

            Yes, it takes Tualatin, but no AGP Port.

            Be aware that PCI video is not a sure thing on these serverworks chipset motherboards.

            In my experience, PCI card can cause lockups and is surprisingly not that much faster than the onboard AGP. Sounds crazy, I know, but I suspect you may have to fiddle with IRQ assignment to get good performance.

            Others here may have had a better experience than I did. Love to hear about it and if you had to do any fine tuning to get PCI video working OK.

            That said, these boards are quite responsive. I use Ubuntu and the boards seem faster than their Hardinfo (benchmarking tool) scores would indicate. Of course, it's possible that the boards may work better under XP.

            Keep us posted!

              Supporting does not = working. We all know how blazing fast the FX5200 was in DX9...

                Single CPU vs dual CPUs

                I do not mind getting the dual CPU board if that does help with XP Pro or linux because I can get cpus rather cheap now.

                  Added:

                  1500SC is dual CPU board with 4GB support (dual channel because manual says pair at a time), can run 1 CPU at first. Have 2 SCSI ports on board. But will this require rest of SCSI hardware that is specific to 1500SC to use SCSI stuff? I have some 68 pin SCSI HDs in storage.

                  500SC single CPU and no SCSI on board. 2GB and simpler board.

                    it's fast enough for aero though. i've got a test box somewhere with a 2.6GHz P4, 1GB DDR and a FX5200 64MB. Aero works just fine. hell... aero even works on intel GMA 950's (all those first gen atom netbooks).. and these are even slower than a FX5200

                    enough OT for now... :p

                      Get the dual. You'll love it. But no AGP is teh suckz.

                        i've got a dual PIII 1GHz with AGP (unfortunately coppermine-only) and topcats intel SAI2 which supports Tualatins (has 2x PIII-S 1.4 on it) but has no AGP (onboard ATI Rage 3D or something instead)

                        the latter is my homeserver-NAS-Gameserver-VPN-Torrent-all-that-crap-you-could-think-of box..

                          Vizio e601i-A3 - Has Sound and Display, But No Backlight - Bad Power Supply Board or Bad LED Bulbs ?
                          by Tynan Dill
                          I was given this TV from my great uncle. He said it just wouldn't turn on one day out of nowhere, replaced the TV, and gave it to me to possibly fix and use for myself.

                          Upon bringing it home and plugging it up, it showed a standby light.

                          I powered it on and without a flashlight, the display showed the "V" but the lighting is very dim, but visible.

                          The screen seems to blackout and stay black, but with a flashlight I can see the display.

                          With my Playstation 4 connected via HDMI, and running a game I can hear sound.

                          Got in way over my head with Supermicro server board and upgrade.
                          by FeerBaron
                          Last year I bought a server. It's worked fairly well but had some issues. Some pcie slots didn't work and Xeon v4 is a bit slow and missing AVX 512. Came to realize that the next version up, with skylake uses mostly the same chassis.

                          A board popped up on ebay one day being sold for parts. A working board like this is over a grand at best. This particular one was about $125 and I decided to gamble.

                          At first it seemed simple enough. According to the description it looked like some mechanical damage.

                          LG OLED77G1PUA - No Video / Audio after a TCON Board change and Software Update
                          by Hakuu
                          Hi There,

                          This TV was auto switching off after few seconds with some vertical lines on the screen, so got a new TCON board and replaced it.

                          After replacing the TCON board it was working fine and i set it up with everything, used for few hours, then had the bright idea to update the software on it. During the update process, TV switched off and now no audio or video. No relay switch sound.

                          More Details

                          TV Model - LG OLED77G1PUA

                          Got the same exact TCON board from TVPartsToday and replaced it. But didnt transfer the EPPROM data (didnt...

                          Sony xbr-65x900c main board issues?
                          by jb_Bak
                          Hey guys great forum glad to have found it. I bought a Sony XBR 65X900C cheaply because it didn't work. No signs of life at all not even a light/led. All I hear is a brief high voltage sound when I throw the power to it.

                          Didn't see any obvious signs of damage so right away started checking voltages. This is what I see:
                          Power Board Connector that goes to Main board
                          CN6401
                          Pin 01 NC
                          Pin 02 NC
                          Pin 03 "BL_ON": 0V
                          Pin 04 "N/C"
                          Pin 05 "STBY 3.3V": 3.5V
                          Pin 06 "GND": N/C
