I ordered 1 of each of those from lanner.

It should be here firday or monday. Ill let you guys know how it goes

Any news?

not yet, I had it all worked out, and went out of town, when I got back I had a message saying "sorry we couldnt send it, we dont take amex" so I called back, and gave them a visa number..... keep ya posted.

gizmomkr, when it says low-power pentium processor does that mean a laptop processor. There was the other board that said it just took a regular pentium processor, what is the difference? Thanks

I *think* its refering to the CPU voltage requirements.... some use 2 to 3 volts..... others up to 5 volts.

I used a standard p133 in my board.
Took it out of an old desktop.

The cables came in yesterday wooohooo.

I was so excited. I had the board sitting on my desk for 2 weeks, all I could do was boot off a flopy and stare at the dos prompt.
( had no keyboard hook-up)

I pluged it all in last night. everything works great.

I loaded win98 on it, all the drivers autodetected except for the NIC. I found NIC drivers at www.realtek.com

Its completely functional, and let me just say for annyone that was thinking of ordering connectors , and soldering there own cables. Its *WELL* worth the 100.00 I spent on the cable kit. the headers are TINY, and tons of pins, with no space between them. It would be verry hard to solder.

To annyone else that got this board off ebay-
I paid 37.00 for mine, lanner Inc. sells them for 450.00 I highly recomend the board to annyone looking.
