Do I have too much junk laying around?

The other day, I found enough junk when rumaging through my closet and under my bed to build from scratch a complete ThinkPad 760E as well as upgrade my 760ED-U3A's motherboard, videocard and display so now it's XGA instead of SVGA. I'm now only a few parts away from being able to build a third 760. Does this mean I have too much parts and junk laying around?

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck.............

You can never have too many parts.

I'm laughing AlphaKilo470, but I am the Quintessential Pack Rat!

I haven't been blessed with so many laptops in my life as you have, but I have nearly every piece of software and hardware I have accumulated in the last 15 years. Only items I have donated to needy friends and relatives have I parted with. I'm so bad, I think I still have some blown hard drives laying around.

Anyone looking for a 386/25, or a 1200 baud external modem

Hmm, if anyone takes up GomJabbar on that offer for the 386, I have an old retail copy of DOS 3.3 and Windows 1.10 (circa 1987) that I could throw in with it.

I also have enough Pentium II and Pentium III motherboards and CPU's as well as more socket 370 and socket 7 CPU's than anyone could shake a stick at. The motherboards can go to anyone willing to pay shipping.

I got that Pentium 4 system too, I'll get it ready soon as I can

AlphaKilo: Got a slotket (Slot 1 to Socket 370)? I'm going to be upgrading a system for a friend, and I'm 95% sure that it's a P2.

I think I've got a CPU (Coppermine Cel 700), but what Skt370 CPUs do you have, just in case?

I have a Coppermine PIII 667, a Coppermne Celeron 800, a Celeron 500 and a Celeron 333.

If the computer's a PII. then that would most likely eliminate the PIII as it's a 133mhz FSB part but if the motherboard can support a 100mhz bus, then I'm pretty sure that the Celeron 800 work as I previously had it in a 440BX motherboard that originally had a Pentium II.

If you can get your 700mhz CPU to work, then I'm pretty positive that the 800mhz cpu I have would work in that comp as well.

The 333 and 500 I'm sure will work in any PII motherboard as they are 66mhz bus parts.

I still have one of those hooked up.

I am interested in PIII motherboards that support a 133MHZ front side bus. If you have any, please feel free to e-mail me at:

Thanks!

Sorry but the only board I have with the 133mhz bus is an IBM board with a non-standard layout and I doubt you'd get good results using this board if you don't have the IBM case it originally came from.

If it's an mATX board (as opposed to the larger and more common ATX size), I could use it... Do you know which IBM machine it came out of??

I'm not sure what machine it came from as I got this in a lot of parts. All I can tell you is that it's slot1 and for the rear ports, it comes with a backplate but the rear ports are not standard layout. It's either a microATX or flexATX variant and it has one agp slot and 3 pci.

Micro-ATX, then. uATX calls for four slots, FATX only allows for three.

Ok, thanks for clarifying that with me. It'd been so long since doing any real work with these smaller formfactor parts that I have long since forgotten what's what.

Do I have too much junk laying around?
