I got this free from a friend for a RTOS class. I'm converted it to a Linux print server after the class. It has 128MB of EDO RAM and a 233MHz pentium with mmx. There are 2 revs of this motherboards. The older rev supports up to a 200 MHz pentium, but you can jimmy rig a resistor to jumper the motherboard so that a 233MHz Pentium will work in it. I was lucky enough to have the "newer" rev motherboard which doesn't require the resistor.
The only issue I have had with this motherboard is that the Linux CD-ROM installation fails after the first CD. The only way I have successfully installed install linux on this system is by doing an NFS install. Ran RH9, Fedora Core 1, and currently runs Fedora Core 2.
excuse the following site, but the guy at runs it is vert helpful
