 |
|
| Bought it as a complete computer (which ended up having that Voodoo3 in it) but it's got at least one blown cap. Seems to work fine (even at 6x133!) however though.. Recap or just toss it? |

Seems like a decent enough board. Caps are cheap, so why not save it?

Because it'll cost me more to recap it than it's worth, F that. I'll just use it until it goes kaboom or something and then toss it, that Voodoo3 is worth far more than this POS MSI OEM (?) board ever will be. |

But if you like the V3 board, don't use that in the motherboard while waiting for it to hit the edge  |

I tend to play with old shit for a bit and then toss it on my local classifieds site or here. |
