Ok, it's up and running. I also got RAM for my other motherboard today (in a trade) as well as got rid of a bunch of crap from my house (Computer stuff). Usually, in the form of CD-ROM Drives/HDD/Cables/Processors/PCI Cards

The Other pentium IV (board and new case) is going to go to a client that can't afford to have his laptop fixed, and he is in stage 3 colon cancer, so we are doing a bit of a charity thing and getting him a new machine setup for him and his wife. So now that I have that RAM (PC-133) I can get a 1.5Ghz Pentium IV up.

These are the specs of the machine we are going to give him:

Pentium 4 Motherboard. 1.5Ghz 512K L2 Cache

640MB PC-133 RAM

Intel D845WN Socket-478 Motherboard w/ ATA-

5IDE/Floppy/USB2.0/10.100 Ethernet/AGP 4x/8x Slot and 6 PCI Slots

I threw in a Video card for it (nVidia RivaTNT 2) w/ 8MB RAM, but we need a different video card due to it ghosting. Unfortunately, I don't have a video card right now. So I gotta scrape up something. I *may* have one coming, but it depends on if I can get a machine apart and transplant a motherboard

40GB ATA-5 HDD

DVD/CD-RW

CD-RW

No floppy (none hanging around) but we will give him a 64MB Memory stick to take files with him if he needs quick access

I am quite envious of the system since it has 6 PCI Slots, which would be nice, but since we got our server, it should be fine.

Wish me the best of luck for getting this guy a computer!
