Bought a motherboard at that same booth -- hope it is Linux friendly!
Asus A7V133. Also picked up another ATX box.
Anyone know of a good source for used CPU's? I now need one
for this motherboard. It supports Athlons and Durons. Don't need
anything cutting edge -- 266 or faster would be just fine ... real cheap
is key since the case and motherboard were not in the budget!
Oh yeah, also need to acquire a piece of 128m DIMM.
I did visit a vendor who buys and swaps memory and other stuff
for laptops. They said they had 32meg modules for $35 for my
ThinkPad ... shame I didn't have my 64meg HP and 8m ThinkPad
modules with me, might have walked away with what I needed
for next to nothing! Will have to drop by their shop next week.
