Searching for motherboards (was trading PIII)

by Stephen C. Daukas

I'm broadening the search a bit, and was wondering if anyone can recommend some local hardware shops... By way of repeating my situation, and giving a bit more detail, I have a SECC2 (a.k.a. slot 1) PIII 850 processor that won't run on my motherboard (an Intel SE440BX-2 Slot 1 type) because of motherboard rev issues. I am offering a swap for a SECC2 PIII running at 550 or 600. I am also now looking to see if anyone knows of a local source for a motherboard capable of running a Slot 1 PIIIs at 850. This is older technology (Intel no longer make Slot 1), so I need to see what I can find that is already in the distribution channel. I really like Intel boards, so Intel would be my first choice. Anyone know of a local source, Intel or otherwise? Thanks! Steve

I don't think they'll give you too much grief, they haven't said a word to me about the SSH holes I have in my firewall as well. And since so many people on there are using PCs exposed to the outside world, how can they tell if you're providing a service, or have just been totally hacked and providing a web page for nefarious purposes.

Tim> That seems kind of odd. I would think you'd be able to run the Tim> 850 underclocked to 600 without any problems. The PIII chips are fixed clocks, you can't change the multiplier on them (like you could on the celerons). At least that's what I remember. As for a trade, I've got a suspect motherboard with a pair of PIII 450s (or so, I can't remember right now) that I'd be willing to sell/trade. I think the only thing I sorta maybe looking for is a really good sound card to use with Linux. My DELL Precision 610MT (dual PIII Xeon 550) has a crappy builtin sound card (which I can't get to work with ALSA) and I'm not happy with the Avance ALS4000 card I have either. I'll try to make the next thursday night meeting and bring stuff for trade/sell. John

If the pinout is the same, why not just run the 850 at 600? Then you won't have to trade chips. You can always run slower, just not faster. Good luck! -Malcolm Stephen C.

Charter & servers?

by Bill Mills-Curran

Does anyone have any experience with Charter cable checking up on services? I have a couple of ssh holes in my firewall, which has not caused any trouble. Now, I'm considering hosting a very low bandwidth web site, but I'm concerned about Charter doing some port scanning and deciding that I'm doing something wrong. More detail... I'm involved with planning a summer camp for the Boy Scouts, and I think that bugzilla would be a great way to help track the myriad of tasks with the multiple volunteers. I'd probably set it up for SSL only. As an alternative, I could just set the few users up with ssh access & teach them how to set up port forwarding, but some of these guys have only MS experience. (Does the windows ssh support port forwarding?) Opinions? TIA, Bill

Anyone interested in trading PIII CPU's?

by Stephen C. Daukas

So here is the sad and embarrassing story... It began at Christmastime when my father-in-law decided to give me two CPU upgrades and a bunch of memory. To make a very long and sad story shorter, the PIII 850 MHz CPU I got is not compatible with my motherboard (an Intel SE2, specifically 720-series). So, I have a PIII 850 I can't use and was wondering if anyone would like to swap a PIII 550 or 600 MHz for the PIII 850. Yes, you read correctly, I am willing to trade down! If anyone is interested in the details, the following URL will give you all you want to know: http://developer.intel.com/design/motherbd/se2/se2_proc.htm. You will note the listing of motherboard revisions in the third column of the chart. You will also note that the 600 MHz PIII is the fastest chip my board can support, it not being a 754-series board. Thanks, Steve P.S., don't let Doug know about this... ;-)
