Great memory upgrade option for vintage videocards.
Matches memory chip type on WinBond ISA videocard. Works perfectly. 4 chips give you an extra 1MB of video memory on top of base 1MB, allowing for higher resolution and better color depth.

Best Cross-Generation Motherboard Fo Retro Gaming
1 of 1 found this helpful The board has it all. Loved it ever since I bought one originally in 1999. Rock-solid design. Support for ISA, PCI, AGP. 3 SCSI types in addition to IDE. Dual CPU slots that work all the way up to P3-800 unmodified, and up to P3-1GHz with custom BIOS and a botch wire.
Will handle anything from pure Dos to Windows XP in dual-CPU configuration. RAM - up to 1GB.
The board will work with Socket-370 to Slot-1 adapters and Coppermine CPU's.
The only feature that this board, unfortunately, lacks is the ability to boot off the USB. Other than that, cannot recommend a better system.
AGP works with every videocard I tested it with, Matrox, Nvidia, ATI, 3DFX.
CPU's will run loud, even if you're using a single CPU OS. Active thermal management wasn't standard back when the board was made.

Lots of power, small form factor, proprietary design, limited longevity
Original PSU lasted 6 years. Small form factor and high wattage is a recipe for eventual failure. Proprietary design means you can only get a Dell variation. High internal complexity and lack of a service manual makes these are difficult to service. In my opinion, a replacement is a better option than having to spend hours following traces with an oscilloscope. I'd suggest getting a refurbished version as oppose to a used one that never failed, because there the defective component has already been swapped, potentially extending life by another 6 years. Otherwise you won't know how much time's left on the clock.
